Boot Failures.......
Trying to install 2.2r2 on an intel i486 dx2 (80486-dx2-s) machine, (clone
- DTK Computer), 6mhz, 24MB RAM, 428 MB HDD (Segate ST3491A), Award Bios
v4.50g (10). Have the CD ROM set - fails on executing boot.bat from the CD
ROM but it dies after:
hda: ST3491A-XR, ATA DISK drive
hdb: FX4820T, ATAPI CDROM drive
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c1fffff9........
...
...
Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Did not expect it to load smoothly from CD.
So I tired using a boot disk (got disk image from your site and tried image
from CD) and it is ok...until...
hda: ST3491A-XR, ATA DISK drive
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

And that is where she hangs. I looked at the help files and there did not
seem to be any that were applicable - though I did try no387 (its an old
machine) but it made no diff. Do we have a memory problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Really want to make it work!
