Gang,
Have not been able to resolve this problem of failure to install on the
following platform:
Alaris Tornado motherboard with 486/100 IBM Blue Lightning CPU
28MB ram
1 built in IDE (OPTI??? chipset) with 2 disks (170MB Master, 20GB secondary)
1 SoundBlaster IDE set to 3rd IDE bus hooked to an IDE CDROM
3c509a Ethernet card
Diamond SpeedStar PRO VLB Video card
256k external cache
I get through both install floppies and go to the Visual config page. As soon
as I quit/save that, the machine goes through a few kernel lines, last one
is npx0 and then:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xca57
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xca57
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc060ee58
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc060ee74
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 ()
interrupt mask = net tty bio cam
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds ...
The fault address is different every time I run it. Have tried taking everything
out of the machine except the Video card (have even tried different video cards)
also have taken it down to 16MB. Have tried turning off ALL cache and
increasing wait states on RAM, always get the same error at the same place.
This machine runs RedHat 6.1 just fine, also spent years running DOS/WIn3.1,
I have not been happy with RedHat and would REALLY like to convert it to
BSD.
Any ideas? Please email as I don't have access to the group..
thank you,
jon
