How much ram is in the machine?

Antony Briggs


...Pentium 100 with 48mB RAM

 When I try to boot the bering rc3, it stops at a prompt with ... Cannot
 load a ramdisk with an old image
 
 bering rc2 just hangs.
 
 PC is Digital Celebris GL5100 (Pentium 100 with 48mB RAM, no hd, 2x fd,
 onboard DEC nic (tulip), PCI BT Highway ISDN (AVM Fritz))
 
 Have you tried to boot from the original distro without any change ?  Do
 you reach the shell and if not where does it stop ? Jacques


Distro is straight out of the box with no change.

With rc3, I get the 'Loading Cannot load ramdisk' message then a colon
prompt.
With rc2 I get 'Loading' only, then hang.

As far as I can remember, the BIOS is the latest.. 1/5/1998

Cheers,
Simon.
