TIA. I'm trying to install 4.2-RELEASE on a Dell Optiplex XM 575. I have recreated the floppies and tried to install over the Internet and from an NFS mounted CD that I burned from the ISO image of 4.2-RELEASE. In visual config, I deleted all of the conflicting and devices that I do not have installed. This is the latest attempt: It was extracting sbin into /usr/src directory. 1024 bytes read from sbin dist, chunk 1 of 2 @ 1.0KB/sec. Panic: general protection fault syncing disks... 85 84 80 73 58 34 6 done Uptime: 17m20s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort --> Press a key on the console to reboot <-- I had hit enter so I could copy all of this down. I've used this CD to install on other machines without problems. Any ideas?? Cheers... -- Try not. Do or do not.
