That looks OK. I asked about the /boot location because it must be
completely below the 1023 track limit (about 8.4Gb). With only 6Gb
you're OK. (BTW, I also have an ancient system with a 6Gb drive which
checks out OK but plays up similar to what you describe, but under Win.)

I presume it is a Pentium I of some sort. How big is your disk and how
is it partitioned? Is /boot completely below the 1023 track limit? (A
parted or Partition Magic summary would help.)

Hi
There's this old computer that I've tried to pub debian on. It's a pentium 75
with 40 MB RAM. The problem is that every once in a while, programs just give
a Segmentation Fault for no good reason. Sometimes I even get an Oops saying
that the kernel couldn't handle a NULL pointer.
