I have installed debian on an IBM Thinkpad (model 310ED--- this seems to be a little-used model, I'm beginning to understand why). I used the CD's that came with Dale Scheetz's DEBIAN LINUX USER'S GUIDE.
Most of the system worked as I expected. However, I have recently been experiencing crashes, screens going black, and other strange behavior. The most recent crash came while I was using emacs (not from X). Suddenly the screen filled with a bunch of stuff I don't understand. I hope somebody can explain what the excerpts below might mean, and what I should do about it. (pid: 1 process nr: 1 stackpage = 002ad000 ) Unable to handle kernel paging request at (bunch of zeroes) current -> tss.cr3 = 00c5000 %cr3 = 00cc5000 (then the word STACK followed by a bunch of 8-digit numbers) kpde = 0 Oops: 0003 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010 [ < 0010a31b ] EEFLAGS: 00010246 (bunch more junk) Process init (pid: 178, process nr: 4, stackpage 00fab00) The machine was printing, every 30 seconds or so polling: [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I turned it off. I think lp0 refers to the parallel port, but I don't have a printer or anything else attached there. I have been experiencing difficulty using kermit and trying to get X to work, but neither of these had been tried during the session involving the most recent crash, so I suspect the problem may be elsewhere. Thanks very much for any help. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
