Subject:   panic: vm_fault during Install

We're trying to install release 3.1 from CD-ROM using the kern/mfsroot
diskettes. After removing all unnecessary device references from the
configuration screen the system accurately identifies the remaining
devices, ports, IRQ's etc. A few seconds after the 'blue screen' 
displaying the 'Probing' message appears, we can hear the hard drives
being activated and, suddenly, the kernel panic message appears:

   panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr: f233f000

The vm source code has not really helped me figure out where the 
fault is originating at runtime since I can't use a debugger. 


Other Info:

Hardware: NEC Ready P60 64MB AMI BIOS, 2 IDE HDs (2.2GB / 400 MB), CD
(We're non-profit)

Current OS: Linux - booting from MBR with LILO 
(Been running for years -- 3 different releases, no probems)

Boot Diskettes: We've tried them on other systems (486's, P133); they're OK

Pathologies: CMD640 bug; Intel Pentium F00F bug

BIOS settings: Tried them all; including the HD geometry stuff


Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer.
