Subject: [Q] Kernel panic...
Date: 1 Apr 1993 23:13:47 GMT

My problem is pretty nasty...
I have installed LINUX 0.99pl6-26. Root is /dev/hda1 (minix),
swap is /dev/hda2 (10megs). Whenever I press BACKSPACE on shell prompt
for longer than a second I am getting the following error:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at address C0000000
Oops: 0000
EIP: 0008: 0010B2F3
EFLAGS: 00010A06
fs: 0017
base: c0000000, limit: 00200000
Pid: 0, process nr: 0
83 3a 01 75 49 83 ba fc 02 00
task[0] (swapper) killed: unable to recover
kernel panic: trying to free up swapper memory space
In swapper task - not syncing

...and system is crashed. I have been working on it for about
tree days and nights and nothing has helped (low level formatting HD,
swapping SIMMs, swapping to a file). I have 386/7DX33 with 8 megs 70ns,
314 ESDI + Ethernet board. Please help... I hope it is not a kernel
bug!!!

PS:
I REALLY want to work with LINUX not BSD...
