I am able to boot off a floppy, configure my NE2000 card, partition and label my SCSI HD, but once I choose to commit, it will create the new filesystem with no problems, but it panics once it starts to copy the root filesystem off the CDROM. Sometimes it does get past that, but then it will crash with the same panic after about 10-20% of coping the bin files from the CDROM. I have tried mounting the CDROM on my Sun Sparc station and tried both FTP and NFS installs and they fail in the same way. My system consists of the following: Pentium90mhz Intel Triton chipset 16MB RAM aha1542b SCSI controller mach64 PCI video card ne2000 compatible NIC 1GB fuji HD Sony CDROM (CDU-8012) (from a Sparc machine) It crashes with: panic: page fault fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode It also displays a few other items... Does anybody have any ideas on what could be going wrong and how to fix it or what to check or anything that would help???? Thanks, Justin England england@netcom.com
