I've got a machine that I'm trying to install 3.1-RELEASE from CD on to. I'm running into some problems. Hardware : PII, 64 MD Ram, Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card, Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM, IBM 8gig SCSI HD While it's installing from the cd I'm getting a kernel panic, unfortunately it reboots before I get much of a chance to write it down. However during the install (before it's paniced) I get several messages like this : /stand/cpio: :No such file or directory /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error /stand/cpio: warning: skipped xxxxx bytes of junk where the xxxxx is some number. I'll get tons of these and then it will eventually panic. I also had the following error: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes) So my guess is that it's bad memory. I thought I would post this first to see if there was any imput on some other things that I should look at. Some other things that I think might be able to create problems like this may be the cd rom drive or the scsi adapter. Although I really lean towards the memory. This is a brand new system from one of the local shops.
