I thought it was one of my 32 MB simms so I replaced them - same problem. So then I thought, maybe because I had 2 16's and 2 32's that that might be a problem, so I loaded it entirely with 32 mb simms for a total of 128MB This really freaked it out. With in a few minutes, simple commands like pwd, or cd etc would bomb me out of the shell. I got illegal instruction, bus error, and other error messages. I pulled the 32's and put in 4 16's and everything is calm and happy again (but slow cause I really need more ram than 64MB). Anyone got any ideas as to why this freaks out at over 64MB? ------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Hovey -- shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net
