Hi When booting RH 6.2 from the CDROM, it gets to the checking 387/387 coupling and then loops with error message 387 failed: trying to reset. Is there a way around this. The system is VA6 Motherboard from ABIT with PIII 600 (Coppermine) 128 Megs of RAM and 13 GB HD with Matrox GE400 32 meg vid card. Any ideas? A mandrake 5.2 CD will boot and prepare to install without problems. Regards Tim Legge
Hi I installed Slackware 7 with the no387 option. It worked, but I had to pass this option on a startups via lilo. However I did have two subsequent problems. Both KDE and Lokis trial version of Railroad Tycoon. I downloaded the latest kernel-2.3.99-pre5. I compiled with the new PIII CPU type, and I was able to boot the new kernel without the no387 option. Apparently something changed for my hardware between 2.2.14 and 2.3.99-pre5. Now KDE runs correctly and so does Loki's RRTycoon. I had thought that this was hardware, but it looks like a problem with the 2.2 kernel series. If I could figure out how to boot my system with a 2.3.99 kernel and do the RH 6.1 install, I am sure it would work. I guess I will use slackware for a while. Regards Tim
Hi This: Both KDE and Lokis trial version of Railroad Tycoon. Should say: Both KDE and Lokis trial version of Railroad Tycoon fail with Unable to handle kernel paging request.
