Good Morning ! (or whatsoever) I'm hardlly trying to install Debian 2.0.1 on a machine :
intel 486 dx4- 100 16 Mb ram Diamond Stealth 64 4 MB Vram (964 Vision Chip) VLB Adaptec AHA2840 Hos Adapter VLB Quantum 1.0 GB SCSI Motherboard does NOT have PCI slots !! when th einstallation starts I get the following message : unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c0000000 current ->tss.cr3 = 00101000, %cr3=00101000 ...... and some stack dump trace & code !!!!! (doesn't mean much to me, I'm a newbie) I tried to disable the SCSI adapter bios (with a switch on the controller) nad the installation went over (no more errors), but the os didn't see the hd (I know , is normal 'cause the bios was not initalized) ... So the problem resides in the SCSI Adapter ! How can I solve the thing ???? I tired with the parameter aic7xxx=no_reset I tried to disable the cache I tried different port adresses for the AHA 2840 I tried the reserve=ioport, parameter so can please anyone help me with some trick or hint on how to avoid the thing ...... I'm getting annoyed about this , altough I've read about 40 HOWTO's on linux installation and stuff like that ..... Thank you very much , I'm waiting for your precious help ........ Tadej !
