Please give your hardware listing, and what you installed. Have you checked for bad memory? VS440FX intel motherboard, adaptec 2940 ultra wide scsi host adapter, 4gb hd, toshiba cdrom, microsoft ps/2 mouse, stealth 64 graphics card, 3com 3c509b-tpo etherlink III card, 64 mb ram. I have not checked for bad memory; how do i do that? also, i recompiled the kernel and it panics, thinking that i have two scsi host adapters, which i don't. i'll try recompiling it tomorrow. i've figured out how to fix this problem: i recompiled the kernel for 386 (rather than for the processor that i have: 686), turning off both advanced power management and watchdog timer support for character devices. i have not narrowed this down any further to determine with absolute certainty which one of these three is causing the problem; but i tried compiling the kernel for 686 with APM and watchdog off, and the problem remained. hope this helps you all. :) maybe this is something that Alan should take a look at. For now, we can't reproduce it here. |
