First, kudos to the Debian and Linux developers. I was given a PS/2 Model 80 (386 - Microchannel (MCA) machine) with an MCA IDE controller. I added a 2 GB IDE drive and an ATAPI CDROM. The debian installation went flawlessly!!! Both the hard disk and CDROM were recognized and usable.
I'm impressed and very happy. Almost. :-( I get segmentation faults at various times after using the system for awhile. I suspect that this could be do to a bad memory SIMM. I've got five 2 MB SIMMs spread across two MCA memory expansion cards for a whopping 11 MB (1MB on system board). I think that one of these SIMMs could be bad. Can anyone suggest tools for locating the bad SIMM? (If not, I'll just start pulling them one at a time.) Or should I be looking else where for the problem? Symptoms: Seg fault error may occur at any time, running any program. No problems under DOS. (But I understand that DOS isn't nearly as aggressive in using memory as Linux.)
