I'm running 2.02 and got this problem during bootup today when I tried to install another 16MB of Ram in my system. Dos/Windows runs fine with it, but Linux dies immediately. In other words, it could very well be a hardware problem/idosyncracy(sp?). (Guess I'm stuck with only 32MB ram. Oh well. <sigh> Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they're not.
