Here's the story, from the top.
I have a 386/25 /w FPU, 212 MB IDE, and 2 80 MB SCSI drives (AHA1520A),
4 MB Ram (yech) with on of the 80 MB SCSI drives as swap.
I installed kernel 1.2.3 and had a lot of problems with the machine locking up
during swaps, so I installed 1.2.8 last night (which was compiled on another
machine). As a test, I tried recomiling the 1.2.3 kernel. This morning I found the
thing locked up and the screen full of "<1> Unable to handle kernel paging request".
All drives check out OK (no bad blocks), and I am able to do a few things on the
machine, as long as I don't use a lot of swap. DOS runs as well as is ever does,
and I can use high memory useage programs (aka DOOM) and it does OK, so I don't
suspect the memory or other hardware.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Please reply via mail as well as
posting.
