It came with a Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller and 16MB of RAM. I added a 3C509 ethernet card and amother 16MB of RAM. Whenever I try to boot from the installation floppy, I get a "Panic: xxx" error at various stages of installation. Usually, it is a "page fault" panic. Do you have any idea about what is wrong? Thanks, Simon Rak sirak@acad.ursinus.edu
