I was given a HP Omnibook 5700CT laptop recently. I downloaded all the ISOs for 5.2.1, made the boot floppies, and took off. For what it's worth, this laptop is not capable of booting from CD. After inserting the mfsroot floppy the computer percolates for a while and then panics. From the thermal output, I would guess the system hung at full load. Here is all the text that is visible on the screen when the event happens: pci0: at device 2.0 (no driver attached) cbb0: at device 3.0 on pci0 cardbus0: on cbb0 pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0 Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0xeb175 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc00eaf13 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc0c21a9e frame pointer = 0x10:0xc0c21aa0 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 = 0 (swapper) trap number = 12 panic: page fault cpuid = 0; Uptime: 1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Does anyone know how to get the installer to move past this point? Thanks for you time and help. Ty Williams
