I understand that this machine has a 100 MHz Pentium, 8 MB of main memory, an 800 MB internal hard disk (EIDE?), and an Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card. It seems to finish loading the kernel from the installation diskette and then crashes almost immediately: (kernel autoconfiguration monologue) . . . rootfs is 1200 Kbyte compiled in MFS Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x4d4d4d51 faultcode = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8: 0xf0130ec1 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current process = 0 (swapper) interrupt mask = panic: page fault Can anyone explain the cause and/or suggest a workaround?
