I am hoping you might be able to help me out. I have a p133 with 48 megs of ram, and a 3com 3c509 ether card with an adaptec aha152x scsi card as storage device. Doing the visual configuration of the kernel, I disable everything but the scsi card, the ether card and the floppy drive. In addition, I leave on the mouse and the other device (syscon?) in that subsection. All the irqs seem to configured correctly as the subsequent loading of the kernel shows all devices as they should be. The startup sees the scsi card, waits for the device to settle, finds the Hard Drive, finds the ether card, then I get a few lines that say this: changing root device to fd0c panic: double fault syncing disks It will hang like this forever. I have no idea what is wrong or how to get past this hurdle. Can you help please? Howie Schneider
