by While trying to install SlackWare 2.1 or SlackWare 2.3 (Linux 1.2.8)
on my system, linux keeps crashing with the following messages:
Divide error: 0000
Process swapper
kfree of non-kmalloced memory
etc...
It happens at random points of the installation after adding swap and
running 'setup'. I never get past trying to install the first A disk. :-(
I'm using a 386DX/40 with: 387, 5 1/4, 3 1/2, QIC80 tape, sbpcd, 4Mb RAM,
Trident SVGA 1Mb, 420Mb IDE, 120Mb IDE.
Taking out the 387 does not help the problem.
Taking out the CD does not help the problem.
Except for the addition of the CD, I have been running SlackWare with
Linux 1.0.9 on this system for a year without any trouble. I was even able
to mount and look at the CD OK.
According to the kernel source, the Divide error is comming from a
TRAP 0. But where in the system is the divide error happening?!
ANY help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
car.
