Subject: 99p9/99p10 crashes my system
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1993 11:11:37 GMT

Hi out there!

I have updated to SLS 1.02 (99p9) some days ago.

Since, my linux crashes down unexpectedly after 5 - 30 min.
of working. The system completely stands. (no core)

My configuration:

        Hardware: SIS 386 CPU, 33 MHz, 12 MB RAM, AMI BIOS
                  ET4000 true color, IDE Harddisk
        Software: linux 99p9, XFree 1.2

After such a crash, it takes 1 - 3 attempts to get the machine
to reboot correctly. After power off/on, the machine (oftenly)
stopps booting, and the BIOS sends a non-stopping sequence of
3 beeps. This means "basic 64 k RAM error". I get into this
problem after a systemcrash. If occurres 0 - 2 times until
the reboot succedes.

This looks like a Hardware-Problem, but it did not occur with
previous versions of linux (99p7) and it does not occur when running
DOS. The update of the kernel to 99p10 did not help.

Please reply, if you have some hints.

Many thanks in advance,

-Thomas
