 |
|
i need to boot from the 1.2 cd cos thats got the pcmcia modules and the nic modules i need, not loaded into the kernel which doesnt work. Unfortunatley when i boot it after loading the ramdisk it says
| Code: | | Kernel panic: Out of memory and no killable processes... |
I dont get this problem with any of the 1.4 boot cds, the laptops got 32mb ram but this is the 1.2 cd. do i need a memory upgrade?

Does the kernel see your memory? You can specify it on the command
line if you need to, using the 1.2 boot cd.
| Code: |
kernel mem=exactmap mem=640k@0 mem=31M@1M
|
If that doesn't work, it -may- be that 32M just isn't enough for the install.
The installation documentation says ideally it requires 64M of ram...
