When booting from Floppy install disk on Gateway P5-60 with 16MB Memory, the installer aborts after initrd.img, vmlinuz, uncompressing linux, ok and gets: Unable to handle kernel null pointer dereference at virtual address 00000292. Gives a trace and stops. Does this on graphical and text boots. I have created new images from both the CD and download with same result. Jim Elkin
We have not seen this behavior in our testing, perhaps there is a hardware issue.
This computer runs fine in Windows, so I don't think there is a hardware issue. The only thing I have come up with so far is the possibility that the video card may be using direct memory. I have a new video card that I will try. Jim Elkin
Well, I changed the video adapter and get the same problem. Any ideas? Jim Elkin
