I'm trying to turn a P3 computer with 128M ram into an nfs server so as I can access my pata drives. I made an os on suse studio based on 13.2 but it goes into a kernel panic as soon as the kernel starts.
Thanks

I still have a P3 1GHz sitting unused taking up the corner of my tiny flat. But, years ago I maxed out the RAM to 1.5GB, so I had no problem installing I think 12.3 on it as the last distro. It's going back a few years so I don't recall too well, but prior to the RAM upgrade I think I had 256MB on board, and in order to install whatever versions of openSUSE I was using at the time, I had to force it to do a non-graphical installation. I seem to remember that you needed 512MB at the time, and with only 256MB I had to do either the media or system check from the DVD menu, let that complete and then at the end it would produce some kind of error, whereafter it would drop to I suppose ncurses mode and allow me to proceed with the installation. It's all rather vague in my head now. I've actually been trying to flog this PC for as little as 1€ on eBay, since aside from the CPU fan it has quiet components including a fanless GPU card, an expensive-for-the-day (2003 era) quiet PSU, and has otherwise still proved a usable system until recently. But no takers. I know that the memory is possibly the only thing that will sell and is economical enough to sell with postage fees added on. Which would still leave me, annoyingly, with all the other stuff. So I was about to try and sell the motherboard, CPU and RAM together. I don't suppose you're in France? :) It has a 40GB Maxtor PATA drive too. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
