- Hello everyone!
-
- I have a perplexing Minix problem I hope to get resolved
- in this forum. I am running (trying to run) Minix 1.5.
- However I can't get the thing to boot. I'm using the
- PC boot disk on an IBM XT clone. However, when prompted
- to hit the "=" key I get the following error message:
-
- Nonmaskable Interrupt
- Process Number -9, pc=0x0060:0x00000A70fd0
- s set RAM disk size(now 0) (real size is from RAM image)
- Kernel Panic: exception in kernel, mm or rfs
- Type any key to reboot
-
- Interestingly enough it boots fine on my brothers AT clone
- (when using the AT boot disk).
-
- Originally I thought it may be an IBM compatibility issue. But
- I have version 1.2, and I got it running just fine (I must admit
- it was a while ago though).
-
- Any ideas??
-
- Thanks,
-
- Allen
