Subjectproblems with old 386 and linux 2.x
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.
