The machine is crashing very often with Fatal Trap 12 along with messages about kernel page faults, freeing busy pages and a couple of other messages. It normally happens when doing a lot of disk accesses (IDE disk). It is strange, I can often compile a kernel, but I have yet to be able to build the locate database without crashing. I also get processes exiting for signal 11 pretty often. I have tried several varieties of RAM, 16mb through 48mb, with similar results. Does anybody have any ideas on this? Does this sound like a setup problem, or a mainboard problem? Thanks in advance -- Bob Harbour bharbour_AT_teleport_DOT_com
