HP e-pc and Linux
On June 16, Eric Harvill posted a question in this forum on installing Linux RedHat 7.0 and Mandrake 7.2 on e-pc. Both OSs only recognized 64MB RAM although the e-PC has 128MB. I've tried the expert's suggestion to force the operating system to use all the amount of memory installed, by passing options to the kernel:
Using Lilo (file /etc/lilo.conf) :
append="mem=128M"
The OS booted until memory check, then crashed under general protection fault. The message displayed on the screen are copied as follows:
Memory: 127912K/131072K avai..
general protection fault
cpu:0
EIP:0010[]
EFLAGS:00010286
eax:0000009f ebx:c7fff0d8 ecx:ffffffff edx:c03ac000
esi:00000028 edi:ffffffff ebp:c7ffffe0 esp:c0233f46
process swapper cpid:0, process nr:0, stackpage:c0233000
stack: ...
..
..
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task
In swapper task - not syncing
...

Re: HP e-pc and Linux
Hello,
Does it work well if you specify "mem=64M" ?
You can try to diagnose a hardware defect or bad connection with your memory cards. Try one, then the other, or try swapping them, or unplug and re-plug them.
Good luck.

P.S. don't forget to rank this answer (from 1 to 10).

Re: HP e-pc and Linux
I've tried RedHat 7.1 on epc.
The installation went through without a hiccup.
Thanks for your kind help anyway!
