Hi, I just tried the miniinst 5.2-BETA (kernel dated 11/25/03) on my computer but it couldn't even boot. My mother board is a A7N8X Delux with 1Gb of main memory. It uses a NForce2 chip. The graphic card is _not_ embeded in the chip : I use an external GF2MX. The BIOS finds it on IRQ 11. I wrote down by hand the last lines of the panic: agp0: <NVIDIA nForce2 AGP Controler> mem 0xa0000000 - 0xbfffffff at dev 0.0 on pci0 panic: pmap_mapdev: couldn't alloc kernel virtual memory cpuid 0; And then to debugger :(. I tried a 'where' command. Here are the latest functions called : device_probe_and_attach root_bus_configure configure mi_startup begin The panic also happens with the 12/03/03 ans 12/02/03 mini isos. The same MB boots 4.9-Stable correctly. I don't have a trace or boot -v log as I don't boot from serial. If it is needed, I'm sure I can look into dusty drowers or ask a friend and get a serial cable to do that. I don't really know how to get more informations with a panic that early in the boot process, but I'll gladly follow instructions. -- Charles-Henri de Boysson "your ignorance is our strength", George Orwell "1984"
