Message-ID: <1992Dec22.111215.1@jjmvx1> Date: 22 Dec 92 19:12:15 GMT Sender: news@cgl.ucsf.edu (USENET News System) Organization: University of California San Francisco Lines: 22 I didn't give enough info in the first post because I'd seen the same problem so many times, but with answers posted that I just sort of assumed everyone knew what I meant. Bad assumption on my part. Anyway, hopefully some kind soul can help me now that I have a bit more to go on. I tried installing 0.1.44(the latest dist.fs kernel I could find) on the 160MB of unpartitioned free space on a 320MB ESDI drive with a 160MB DOS partition. The machine is an Everex 20Mhz 386 with 8MB and bios dated 12/25/88. After running the install program with no trouble, I hit return to reboot, and after identifying the peripherals (just monitor, floppies two serial ports, and hard drive) the machine says something about a kernel panic and dumping ram (happens way too fast to catchg it all) and then reboots. This will continue ad infinitum. Can anyone help? I'll summarize and post any replies. Thanks in advance. Vince Reed vince@jsrvx1.ucsf.edu
