Thanks to those who responded - Messrs. Smith and White---I have been
OTR (out of sight, out of mind). Since returning I have tried Mick's
solutions:
1) Disable WriteBack cache
2) Chipset Setup to Auto-Detect
3) BIOS Default settings
4) Disable IDE stuff
both serially and in parallel with no joy.
Results have been mixed with respect to command output and panic
errors. I have seen generally the following on VTY-2:
...
last file copied...
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf01dc0ff
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xffff, type 0x1b
= DPL0, pres1, def 32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
current process = 1(sysinstall)
interrupt mask = bio
panic codes have ranged from 1 to 50 to 84 to 141 depending on the
CMOS setup prior to the crash.
I have also tried with all power management stuff disabled, but to no
avail.
I have it on good authority that the 16MB SIMM is 70ns, but I have not
verified this through testing.
The CD that is attached is a NEC 6xe. It is recognized right away by
the install. Are there any known problems with it?
Any new thoughts are heartily welcomed...
Cheers,
Dave
