--000000000000c8bf0c0650afe7fa Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Folks, I've been trying to bring up NetBSD (both 9.x and 10.x) on my vintage Tyan Tomcat IIID (https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/tyan-s1563d-tomcat-iii). Either via floppy boot or CD boot, the initial bootloader comes up and loads the kernel, and then after the screen clears, I see this: [ 1.0000000] fatal double fault in supervisor mode [ 1.0000000] trap type 13 code 0xc011451d eip 0x8 cs 0x202 eflags 0x10 cr2 0 i level 0 esp 0x30 [ 1.0000000] cur lwp 0xc1285600 pid 0 lid 1 lowest kstack @xc15602c0 kernel: user trap double fault, code=0 Stopped in pid 0.1 (system) at 8: invalid address Does this likely have to do with the oddity of a dual Pentium system? It's an Intel 430HX chipset with 56MB of RAM. RAM seems OK, and I have parity enabled, and other OSes seem to boot and run OK, including use of a bunch of RAM. Thanks! - Alex --000000000000c8bf0c0650afe7fa Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>Folks,</div><div><br></div><div>I've been trying = to bring up NetBSD (both 9.x and 10.x) on my vintage Tyan Tomcat IIID (<a h= ref=3D"https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/tyan-s1563d-tomcat-iii">https= ://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/tyan-s1563d-tomcat-iii</a>).
