Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Alpha 1.14

[Newt <gen...@gm...>]

Hello,

I just tested the PIII-1ghz/128mbRAM with 'gui vga=normal' and received a kernel
panic:
>> Checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (no cpio magic); looks like an initrd
>> Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes

The other low-spec machine I tried normally earlier and it could not finish
loading the image (image.gz). Without actually opening it up I think it may be too
low-spec to be a valid test machine for SOHO - AMD-K2-600/64mbRAM/ATIRage128 -
what do you think?

Is an AMD-K2 processor in the i586 or above class ranking? If so, I _may_ have
some old SDRAM memory for it so it can load the initial boot image.

On to the "newer" machine below: Any ideas on what to try regarding the monitor
signal going out when JWM should load?

Cheers, newt
