| |
I am trying to figure out what the hardware problem of a PC here is. It's acting weird, crashes a lot and can't handle ethernetcards without me needing to turn it off and on. (It's a nobrand board with an Award bios, and an AMD120 (Also tried an AMD100 before)
During my testing, i tried to boot a linux kernel. At 40 or 33 Mhz the bootdisk end at: Checking 'hlt' instruction... At 25Mhz it is able to get to: Checking 'hlt' instruction... Ok.
But I never get anything after this. I changed quite some hardware so I personally think it is related to my BIOS/Motherboard/fast processor combination (No problems with an Intel dx2 66)
Has anyone gotten similar experiences to help me in my quest?
Paul -- Due to my recent postings in various Usenet newsgroups, I have been flooded with unwanted, unsolicited, commercial email. I have taken steps to automate my, not so polite, retaliation. I am sorry I am forced to do this, but I am receiving several junk emails a day now. You have been warned.
