I have a 486DX4/100 (Overdrive) with 32MB of RAM that I run Debian on.. Up until yesterday it was running like a dream.. Now it does stuff like "Unknown vector 67 in CPU#0" and after that and something about idling says "hda interrupt lost" over and over and over again.
The motherboard is ISA/PCI and the kernel is at 2.2.16.. I was tonight trying to install a NetGear FA311 PCI network card - its module (fa311.o) required kernel 2.2.17 which I downloaded the source for and was attempting to compile. Prior to trying to compile, latest packages of everything obtained.. Crashing happened outside of compile after some package updating (packages updated yesterday).. and again during some compilation (maybe there's something bodgy in one of more recent packages?) I have tried turning off 32 bit and block disk mode access.. Checked inside case for anything impeding airflow - nothing.. Possibly suspect RAM - though unsure on how to test Could be HDD - it runs fsck after forced shutdown and seems to correct everything though I don't think its NetGear PCI NIC - as it did something similarly suspicious before the old NE2K comp. (Winbond) ISA card was taken out and /proc/pci identified the card and its resources just fine. Any ideas? Anthony
