I'm consistently getting kernel panics after the root and usr
filesystems are initialized, when the install tries to unzip
files from the boot floppy. The install screen says:
panic: getnewbuf: inconsistent EMPTY queue
Anyone have a clue what's going on? This system is a 386DX-40
with math coprocessor, 540MB Conner 30540, 8MB of RAM, AHA1542B
(for the conner, DAT drive, and CD-ROM), and 3c579. It
previously ran 1.1.5.1 with no problems.
Any help much appreciated!
