- Hello Gentlemen.
-
- After a bit of reading today in c.o.l I decided to make sure that my system had
- "the right stuff". So, I made sure of links, makefile ( I once got a finish
- one by mistake!) sound support, scsi, etc... and recompiled. No problemo.
-
- Right after recompilation I fdformatted a floppy and typed "make disk".Swell.
-
- Problem is, to test this, I 'synced' about 10 times :) and then typed
- "reboot".
- Usual message, bounce... bounce. System halts.
-
-
- That's it. Any ideas?
-
- 486/33 8 megs ram WDC IDE, Trident card.
- Never experienced this before.
-
- Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Adios. -JEM-
