R. Pych Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, N.J. Lines: 36 Nntp-Posting-Host: hertz.njit.edu Equipment: AT&T StarStation 386/33Mhz, on board IDE, 8meg RAM, Phoenix BIOS. Problem: I get the following message: "Too little RAM, warning running in <?> mode" The above message is incomplete because the screen immediately clears which makes it hard to read. Oh yes, it looks like it's also displaying the message that is referenced in the INSTALL.NOTES file. After the screen clears, a colorful bunch of blinking garbage is displayed. At the bottom of the screen the following is displayed: ptd: 81061 > Then the floppy drive continues to read forever. When I press a key I get the following: trap type 12 code = fec00000 eip = fe04fdf0 cs = fdbf008 eflags = 10246 cr2 0 cp1 ffffffff panic: trap hit reset please I tried disabling stuff like shadow ROM and shadow video, but got the same results every time. I tried booting the same floppy in a AT&T 6386/25 WGS and got the same results. However the floppy booted on a ZEOS 386/33 without any problems. Am pretty much dead in the water at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Jeff Pych
