Hi, everyone.. I'm borrowing my roommate's email, so please send replies to andyw@edafio.com. Thanks!
Here's my problem... when I boot anything 2.4, I get several oopsen in a row, all of which are either (most commonly) kernel paging request could not be handled, or (much less common) unable to handle kernel Null pointer dereference. I will send any info on request, but here's my hardware and kernel config:
iWill KKR-266R (Via 8363 Northbridge, 686B south) AMD tbird 1GHz 256MB cas2 pc133 sdram ATI Radeon DDR 64MB VIVO Kingston KNE120TX (Realtek 8139 chip) SBLive! 5.1 IBM GXP75 30GB (on the via ide controller) Pioneer 16x dvd ls120
This happens regardless if I turn on swap or not. When swap is on, it is a 128MB partition (and yes, I'm aware of the recommendation of 2x RAM, but I believe I read somewhere that someone was working on that, and I didn't want to waste the extra 384MB on swap).
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

p.s., booting with devfs=nomount is better, but still causes oopsen (I get to a login prompt, but if I do much more than mount a disk a copy to it, the system freaks)
