Hello, I'm new to sgi linux, just got a spare Indy :=), can some one help me on this. According the linux sgi FAQ on http://www.linux.sgi.com, I download vmlinux-970916-efs and the small root fs. When I boot it using bootp, I get Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000, epc == 800cbfdc, ra == 800cbfbc right after linux kernel displayed eth0: SGI Seeq8003 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx I also noticed that something unusual, the kernel printed out Memory: 60964/196604k avaialble (1020k kernel code, 2772k data) ^^^^^^ this is too big for 62M My machine is a Indy which has 62M memory, and PROMLIB detected it right. Another thing it didn't get the right capacity of scsi disk. I also tried the newer kernels from ftp.linux.sgi.com:/pub/test, but they immediately crashed. Thanks. Dong
