I am unable to boot {dist, fixit}.fs in any of the varieties
outhere. The boot process begins, I can see some output about
the different devices and a message about the root partition.
What follows next, is to fast for me to read. Something about
vm fault, then something about RAM and the machine reboots.
It continues this cycle forever.
I remember seeing some discussion about such a problem in the
first days 0.1 was out. Unfortunately, I did not save those
articles.
The machine configuration: (Gateway 2000)
486/33
8 Mb RAM, external cache
200 Mb IDE drive
floppy drives
SpeedStar+, 1M on board
I have already disabled all external/internal cache, BIOS relocate
and slowed the machine down.
I would very much appreciate any hints/help.
