Hi!

My hardware equipment is :

        - 80486DX2-66 with 128Kb cache memory
        - 4Mb DRAM
        - 1.2Mb 5.25" & 1.44 Mb 3.5" floppy disk driver
        - Adaptec AHA-1542c SCSI host adapter.
        - Maxtor 7213S (202Mb) SCSI disk. (No any IDE hard disk)
        - ET4000 tseng SVGA card

This equipment works very well under MSDOS 5.0.

I got error messages when I boot Linux using SLS "a1" diskette as :
(Version is "Linux softland 0.99.pl8-3 04/10/93 i386")

Machine halt while last line displayed. How can I do for ?
