I'm using a PC 9821 Ls150 with the pc98 5.2 distro. I keep getting this funky kernel message below and it restarts my box ever time: > Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode > fault virtual address = 0x0 > fault code = supervisor read, page not present > instruction pointer = 0x8:0x0 > stack pointer = 0x10:0xc4fbc7c > frame pointer = 0x10:0xc4bfc7c84 > code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b > = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 > processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 > current process = 27 (swi8: tty:sio clock) > trap number = 12 > panic: page fault I was told to put ddb in the kernel but I can't get to a prompt to open the kernel conf file. None of the boot commands seem to work ie...gdb or the flags. What can I do ...am I just doing it wrong. How do I stop the error?? How can I get to a prompt that will let me ls and cd to boot/kernel and so forth
