I'm trying to install linux 7.2 from CDROM
System starts and display the first screen with all install options:
I've tried all possibilities but whenever I do , I get the same result:
After few seconds, I obtain a trace screen with register list and invalid operand 
notification and the message
kernel panic - attempted to kill init then system freezes...

My video card is a Sis730 model on a Matsonic motherboard.

Can yopu help me ?

Thanks

Can you try typing
linux mem=xxxM

where xxx is the amount of memory (in megabytes) you have minus 32 ?

Comment 3 bcandela 2002-02-08 07:20:13 UTC
OK Thanks. I've tried linux mem=64M expert and it worked fine. I've 128M memory
