Installation problems !
Good Morning ! (or whatsoever)
I'm hardlly trying to install Debian 2.0.1 on a machine :
intel 486 dx4- 100
16 Mb ram
Diamond Stealth 64 4 MB Vram (964 Vision Chip) VLB
Adaptec AHA2840 Hos Adapter VLB
Quantum 1.0 GB SCSI
Motherboard does NOT have PCI slots !!
when th einstallation starts I get the following message :
unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c0000000
current ->tss.cr3 = 00101000, %cr3=00101000 ......
and some stack dump trace & code !!!!! (doesn't mean much to me, I'm a
newbie)
I tried to disable the SCSI adapter bios (with a switch on the controller)
nad the installation went over (no more errors), but the os didn't see the
hd
(I know , is normal 'cause the bios was not initalized) ...
So the problem resides in the SCSI Adapter ! How can I solve the thing ????
I tired with the parameter aic7xxx=no_reset
I tried to disable the cache
I tried different port adresses for the AHA 2840
I tried the reserve=ioport, parameter
so can please anyone help me with some trick or hint on how to avoid the
thing ...... I'm getting annoyed about this , altough I've read about 40
HOWTO's on
linux installation and stuff like that .....
Thank you very much , I'm waiting for your precious help ........
Tadej !
