I recently upgraded my big box to 1 Gig of Ram. At boot the screen was blank, but with help and research I restored that by using vga=normal in lilo. From what I could tell from dmesg it said I needed a highmem enabled kernel.
So I follow the steps on the selecting kernel page on the slackware website. (in the book section)
(I can't post the URL here because I haven't posted enough, if someone needs it,please pm me)
when I reboot, it starts loading, but then starts reporting irq conflicts, segmentation faults etc. I can't get to the console to see what dmesg says.
The only thing I changed in make menuconfig is the himem support option, so I don't understand why it's not working.
Thanks in advance.
I'm still working with the old kernel, not the full 1 gig of ram, and no tux at boot.
I miss him.
