Dear friends:
Using LM 8.0 on my AMD k6-2 400 CPU with KDE 2.1.1.
Just had my friend Bill, the computer expert, install my new PNY memory
modules. The two new modules (128 meg each) together with the 128 module
already on my system (there are three sockets on my Soyo SY-5EMA + Super
7 Mainboard version 2.0 motherboard) add up to 384 megs of real RAM plus
a swap file of 256 megs from my original installation.
[by the way, PNY memory chips for AMd K6-2 are extremely cheap these
days -- around $40 for each 128 meg module].
OK, I had no problem booting into Windows. Everything works fine in
Win98. However, I am having problems booting into LM 8.0.
First time I managed to boot into the console and then Linux froze in
KDE (during the "desktop" stage of KDE's graphical logging -- that is, I
was already in KDE but KDE froze when it reached the "desktop" part of
the KDE launch).
Second time, Linux froze during bootup itself with the following error
message:
....
Everything OK up to this point.
Starting httpd..... OK
"ap+t==0x55
Stoppibng myself... /etc/rc.d/rc: line 172: 1272 Aborted $i Start
Starting crond: /etc/rc.d/S90 crond: line 49
1439 Segmentation fault
$ni0 init log $INITLOG_ARGS-c "$%"
[I am not abosolutely certain of the "$ni0" in the last line -- Ben]
I have no idea what to do. Would really appreciate an expert's help on
this. I have a feeling that somehow I need to tell Linux about the extra
256 megs of RAM.
Is that true? Do I need to manually tell Linux somewhere that my real
RAM has increased from 128 to 384 megs and does this in any way affect
my swap file of 256 megs of RAM?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Benjamin
