Hola.
In trying to upgrade my old workhorse, a PPro MMX 150 on an Abit AB-TX5
motherboard (No mouse, no bonus), after selecting the text installation, I
get a kernel panic at about 50% of "Loading program into memory" progress
bar. The system is equipped with an ne.0 compatible ISA NIC, a 3c59x.o
compatible ISA NIC, some S3 trident PCI card with 4 megs, and has 32+64
SIMM, 64+64 DIMM for a total of 224 megs, an 8G HD and a creative DVD rom
(recognised by the bios, too, whee) plus two 20 G disks not recognised by
the BIOS, but recognised by the kernel (Set to None in BIOS);
This with the 'alt0' (2.4.19-16mdk I believe) kernel, while booting the
system with "text mem=224M" and just "text".

plus install exited abnormally :-( (No shit)
Any idea? My first guess would be that it's such an old motherboard
not all the bugfixes for the broken (?) chipsets it contains are included
in the bootup kernels.... =(
Is there a workaround for this, or do I just simply lose? (And go back to
The Other rpm system)
