- I recently tried upgrading to version .99 of Linux and discovered that
- the new kernel crashes at start up. I had to configure by hand since the
- 'Configure' script doesn't work (it only processes the first couple lines
- of config.in before aborting), so its possible that something is configured
- incorrectly. Here is what the init routines spit out at boot time:
-
- Serial driver version 3.8 with no serial option enabled
- ttys0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450
- 8 virtual consoles
- lp_init: lp1 exists (0)
- Unable to handle kernel paging request at address c0400000
- Oops: 0002
- EIP: 0008:0003A410
- EFLAGS: 00010287
- fs: 0017
- base: C0000000, limit: 000A0000
- Pid: 0, processs nr: 0
- cb 00 00 40 42 39 ca 7c f7 89
- task[0] (swapper) killed: unable to recover
- kernel panic: Trying to free up swapper memory space
- In swapper task - not syncing
-
- The computer freezes at this point. Does anyone know how to interpret those
- messages? FYI, the following options were configured:
-
- CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD
- CONFIG_TCPIP
- CONFIG_MAX_16M
- CONFIG_M486
-
- CONFIG_MINIX_FS
- CONFIG_PROC_FS
- CONFIG_MSDOS_FS
-
- Thanks in advance,
