I get the following message when my 2.1.130 kernel boots after a 'stock' load of 2.1.130 Memory: 160084k/163840k available (1024 kernel code, 416k reserved, 2276k data, 40k init) Checking 386/387 coupling...

I have a Micronics M6DPi, which is based on the 440FX PCIset and i960 processor with PCI to PCI Bridge and I2O technology. It has (obviously), two Pentium Pro 200's with 512k level 2 on board cache. Please let me know how to rectify this problem! thanks Jeff Fanelli
