- Nice Hardware, I'm jealous. Sounds like you are having a most
- terrible time of it.
-
- The DDK manual provides some information on interpreting these
- dumps.

- ^^^^^^^^^^^
- program data in a user
- process caused this problem.

- don't know whoever caused this
- which program. did a segmentation violation.
- I have not seen
- a blank command
- before.
-
- eax, ecx, esi, edi, ebp, esp and *eip* all point to the kernel stack.
- uesp should point at user stack, because that's where the auto style
- variables and passed values reside. The uesp points at program text,
- where it definitely should not point, (unless the current process is
- the loader).
-
- The blank cmd= would make me wonder if there isn't a floppy drive
- problem. I could imagine the installation script reading your floppy
- when it suddenly draws a blank, believing that to be the name of
- the program to run.
-
- I also wonder if your memory is able to keep up with your processor.
- If you have one of those 'Turbo' switches, try slowing the machine
- down. Try adding wait states in your bios setup.
-

-
- Understandable.. But I encourage you to perservere. I hope you
- will be able to tweak your configuartions a bit, and get fine
- performance.
-
- It is possible that you have misconfigured your scuzzy card. Maybe
- you have it running in synchronous mode, or your translation mode
- is not appropriate. Obviously, the irq, dma and io base are correct
- or you'd get nothing at all in the way of files.
