Can't install 4.0 on 486/100 Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Jon Burgoyne Hiarc Inc | + jon@hiarc.com Tech Support / Software Development + | Voice: US 765-349-0037 Fax: US 765-349-0336 | + + | "The Internet is like a town that leaves its streets unmarked on the | + principle that people who don't already know don't belong" + | -James Glieck | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
