I am at my wits end. Is there some diagnostics that I can do:-
I have tried.
$ ramdisk hd=4188,16,63 debug no-hlt reserve=0xec600,0x0FFF
// From the pci diagnostic below
$ ramdisk hd=4188,16,63 debug no-hlt reserve=0xE0000,0xEFFFF
// Windows 95 system says Memory 0xe0000- 0xeFFFF System Board
$ ramdisk pci=noprobe debug
// pci=noprobe - a wild guess on my part
$ linux debug
$ rescue debug
Looked the Linux Lap Top Home Page for answers.
The general advice I have read in LDP is to pull any out cards to try to
find the conflicting
hardware problem, but this is not possible on a LapTop.
I reached the end ... but I refuse to loose, there must be a way!!!!!
