Hi there!
I've recently installed RedHat 5 and its various updates, on an old AMD 386dx40 with 8mb RAM. First of all I'm concerned about this message which shows up in both pre-2.0.34-4 and pre-2.1.92-1. (Surrounding lines included)
Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Uhhuh. NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue You probably have a hardware problem with your RAM chips or a power saving mode enabled. Adding Swap: 33260k swap-space (priority -1)
Well, there's no power saving mode, and as far as I can tell the memory is ok as I only see this message once during bootup, and its in the same place each time.
Another thing is when I press ctrl-alt-delete, it goes through the motions of shutting down and gets right up to the point where it prints "System restarting" and locks up. This is fixed by giving it a power cycle, but its kind of annoying anyway. :)
Can anyone else reproduce any of these problems or suggest possible fixes?
Regards,
Dave.
