Hi all, I'm currently running 2.2.7 on an old 386 with 8 megs of non-parity RAM and two NE2000 ethernet cards. The system is primarily used just to run natd for computers on the internal network to talk to ones on the external net. I wanted to upgrade the system to 3.2, but unfortunately I can't even boot off the boot disk. Right after the loader has shown the symbol info and just before it would normally ask for the MFS disk, it craps out with a constant beep and the following dump (leading zeros have been stripped): [sic]... +0x24acd] int=d err=13 efl=30246 eip=37e7 eax=3c03 ebx=7 ecx=fffe edx=0 esi=3739 edi=0 ebp=3f8 esp=366 cs=c000 ds=40 es=3773 fs=0 gs=0 ss=9e65 cs: eip=e2 fe 8a c4 e6 61 c3 a0-4a 00 fe c8 8a 26 84 00 ss: esp=f9 19 73 37 00 00 15 d2-00 00 00 00 07 00 17 As I've said, the computer has been extremely bulletproof with 2.2.7 (over 222 days uptime! :-), but won't boot off the install disks at all with 3.2. Any ideas?
