Hi, Heiko! No good news from the new testing release - it crashed after the bootmenu on my PIII 500 intel 440BX board with an "unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address d0000000" error and hangs. My own iso crashed with the same error - it seems that the new kernel doesn't like older hardware. On an slightly more modern PC (P4) it starts like normal. I switched back to 2.4.34.4 which worked on my hardware, after all that trouble with cdrtools and NAT i hope that i have a working iso tomorrow. Oliver |

On a P4 or on my vmware it works. I build an iso for 486 and one for 686 but it doesn't make a difference... Didi |

Can you swap out the memory on your PIII for a test? -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org |

I tested it with two different ones, but DL doesn't boot up. DL 1.2.13 works fine on this machine. But I found out that on another P III (866) the new release works. Unfortunately I can't use the second machine because it is in use for another VPN gateway. Didi |

That's weird. It may be related to another patch, like the grsecurity. Can you try building a server version and see if it behaves better? It is really hard to track these issues down. -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org |

I'm happy to inform you that a BIOS update for the P III machine solved the problem. Didi |
