I keep getting these errors and the computer completely locks. At least one time I heard a "could not handle kernel paging request" error. ... And I'm not really sure why. I thought I might have power management turned on, but I don't. Only thing that I can think is wrong is a flaky system. I know, for instance, the video card's a POS video card, and I'm going to replace that straight away and try again. Also the network card could stand replacement, but sometimes I get these errors before any of the network stuff gets loaded. Any other ideas what might be causing this problem? Particulars: K6-2-300 system with 32MB RAM and a 2GB hard drive and Trident 4DWave sound card; POS AGP video card, and POS NE2000 ISA ethernet card (on IRQ11 at 0x300). BTW, there's no particular time that these errors happen, just kinda whenever. ... Once I get that tackled, I'll try to get lilo to boot successfully off the hard drive. ... -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV Email: davros@ycardz.com Voice mail: 877-791-5298 All opinions are all mine!
