No idea. I re-installed Linux in anger when this happened to me. Bad
move on my part though. I am assuming the problem is memory related,
and currently posting looking for solutions.
My system is 486/33 (AMI Motherboard, ISA) 8Mb, 240Mb Quantum SCSI w/
1542B, default 5Mb (yes, I know...) swap space.
Help!!!
