Hi everyone. I've got 2 old 486 machines here that I'm trying to install slink onto. One of them is a Compaq Deskpro 486/33M and the other is built out of off the shelf parts. I've managed to install onto the Compaq machine with no problems whatsoever, but when I try to boot the rescue/install disk on the other machine, it brings up the boot: prompt, and then starts to load the root FS from root.bin.. After loading for a while it fails with the message "A20 gate not responding!"...
I don't know what the problem is, so I was hoping someone could help me out. I've tried turning off both processors caches in the BIOS, but that made no difference... I can't see any BIOS entries relating to the A20 gate, so I haven't been able to experiment with that... The problem machine is a 486DX33 with 8MB of RAM, if you need more info about the hardware, please let me know. Thanks in advance. -- Matthew Gregan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
