- Hi folks,
-
- i've been installing SLS .98pl5 last weekend and had very weird problems
- until i've switched off my 2nd level cache:
-
- - mail died with segmentation fault
- - tetris died with segmentation fault
- - gcc died with SIGSEG....
- - .......
-
- After I switched it off everything works fine. Is this an board error or is
- there any rule behind this (everything works fine with the builtin cache of
- the 486).
-
- My machine consists of:
- - 486 50MHz
- - OPTi chipset (the one for all 486-XXXX including SX) manufactured by
- Shuttle (don't remember the exact type)
- - 16MB RAM
- - 256kB 2nd level cache
- - IDE controller made by Timex with Quantum LPS240A connected
- - multi i/o on IDE controller
- - Diamond SpeedSTAR HiColor BIOS Rev. 4.3
-
- I'm totally unwilling to let my cache been switched off, so may anybody
- help me?
-
- Thanks for all, please answer quickly
