I added two new SIMMs to my system bringing it from 32M to 64. But...
now linux
does not want to boot, It just sticks at starting kswapd. Win95 didn't
seem to mind
at all. I'm running Redhat 4.2 on a Aptiva S78 Pentium 200. If anyone
could tell me
how I could get my system going again without reinstalling ( I just did
this not too long
ago ) I would greatly appreciate it.

1. adding memory and now linux won't boot
i have been running linux 1.1.64 for many months on a gw2000 minidesktop
486 with 8 meg's of memory. i added an additional 8 meg's last week and
got cmos and dos to accept it. when i tried to boot from my lilo floppy,
the system got as far as the file system checking, and then a register dump
appeared on the screen - a copy appears below;
unable to handle kernek NULL pointers deference at virtual address c0000001
current -> tss.cr3 = 00f51000, %cr3=00f51000

Aiee, killing interrupt handler
release: fsck ext2 kernel stack corruption
remounting ...
and then the hard disk just spins.
please advise me as the proper course of action. i miss not being able
to boot my linux system. i'm an unix novice and would hate to think i just
wasted $300. i was also considering upgrading my cache from 64k to 256k,
but after the above fiasco, i'm not so sure.
thanks for any assistance you might provide.
sincerely;
