by 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

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;
