- Hi y'all,
-
- Linux (both PL1 and PL3) hangs on me everytime after running
- for a given amount of time ranging from 30 seconds to 30
- minutes. I'd be forced to do a cold boot.
-
- Here's my setup:
-
- UMC motherboard (HEAT chipset (UM82C38x))
- 386DX-25
- Award BIOS
- 4Mb RAM (384K stolen for shadowing :( )
- Seagate ST1126A IDE HDD ("swift" family)
- Trident 8900 SVGA and Hercules compat. for monochrome
- Sound Blaster Pro
-
- I recently swapped back to my old motherboard (386SX-16) and
- everything works fine... but needless to say, X is unbearably
- slow.
-
- Any takers?
