I ran into this with a 1 GHZ PIII processor.  I finally found this
fix.  You have to read between the lines because the article has some
chinese in it.  I ran these patches, and the system booted and ran
fine.  We used it for 15 months, until upgrading to OpenUnix 8.

Run the patches, and it will work!

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
