Hello, I just recently purchased a AMD 486dx4/120 CPU.  I have a 486/PCI
motherboard with a UMC chipset.  I have 32MB of EDO ram.  The system works
perfectly fine with the original Intel 486dx2/66 CPU.  I installtg the AMD
chip, set the jumpers for the correct voltage (3.3v) and CPU type (AMD
dx4).  When I boot my machine, it goes through the device probe, then
shortly after init starts to run /etc/rc, gives me this error:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

fault virtual address	= 0xffbfed4
fault code		= Supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf0190146
code segment		= base 0x0, lim, 4 0xfffff, type 0x1b
			= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1

processor eflags	= interrupt enabled, resum, IOPL=0
current process		= 7 (fsck)
interrupt mask		=
panic: page fault


Someone told me to play with my cache settings in the bios, I've tried
every combination upto disabling the internal and external cache.  When I
do this, the panic happens anywhere between init and say...sendmail
starting up.  I also duel boot to NT 4.0 and have had strange dealings
with that...Photoshop works, but install Perfect Office dies with a divide
by 0 error.   

Does anyone have any clue as to what I should try next?


Thanks,
Rory Imua Lampert
