After removing all unnecessary device references from the configuration screen the system accurately identifies the remaining devices, ports, IRQ's etc. A few seconds after the 'blue screen' displaying the 'Probing' message appears, we can hear the hard drives being activated and, suddenly, the kernel panic message appears: panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr: f233f000 The vm source code has not really helped me figure out where the fault is originating at runtime since I can't use a debugger. Other Info: Hardware: NEC Ready P60 64MB AMI BIOS, 2 IDE HDs (2.2GB / 400 MB), CD (We're non-profit) Current OS: Linux - booting from MBR with LILO (Been running for years -- 3 different releases, no probems) Boot Diskettes: We've tried them on other systems (486's, P133); they're OK Pathologies: CMD640 bug; Intel Pentium F00F bug BIOS settings: Tried them all; including the HD geometry stuff Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer. ------------------------------------ Laurence Morell, MIS Coordinator Northern Counties Health Care, Inc.
