I tried to install linux on an old 386dx-40 with 16mb of ram. It reads the resc1440 floppy VERY SLOWLY and somewhere between loading kernel and decompresssing just dies with 'boot failure'.
I am assuming this is either a bad floppy disk (though it does boot in two other machines), a bad floppy drive (though I've tried 2 others), or bad memory (though I'v tried other simms ... only have 1m simms so I tried several 8mb configurations). Any other ideas? I've looked at the bios settings but nothing looks out of place there. And the machine does boot dos 6.2 (not that that means anything). === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
