I have Redhat Linux 5.2 (Apollo version). When I initially
installed the system--by the way on an older system than which I will talk
about--the boot process went well. It gave no errors. The system I first
installed Linux was on a 486DX, with 16MB ram, generic motherboard, AMD
processor and a 3.2 GB hard drive. The system would boot with no
problems.
I then transferred the hard drive to another system that had a
slightly better processor performance. In essence, it was a year or two newer
than that of the system that booted without problems.
When I transferred the hardrive, at first the boot process
appeared normal, but as it continued, it reported errors and would not boot.
Some of the errors listed were:
1. While opening UTMP file: No such file or
directory.
2. INIT: Panic segmentation violation! giving up.
3. INIT: ID "1" respawning too fast: disable for 5
minutes.
The system in which I am now talking about is composed of a
90MHZ Pentium processor, Pentium board made by Micronics with Pentium chipsets.
I used the same hardrive that boots fine on the other system ( 3.2GB) and had
15MB of ram. This system produced the errors that I listed 1-3.
Are there any suggestions that come to mind? Or, are there any
web sites that give a fairly detail account of system errors. What come this
possibly be?
Thanks for you cooperation.
