Okay, I was typing along in my favorite editor when all of a sudden the screen scrolled with a mesage NMI kernel parity error! type 0x1f Now I realize a non maskable interrupt occured but what would cause a parity error? Are we talking bad memory chips? One additional note is that this happened right after installing the 3.51 Fix Disk 1.0. I also have Lenny's bootup scripts running. Other than that its a stock distribution. Now when I try to boot, it just sits there when I boot totally from the hard disk but if I boot from the "Hard Disk boot floppy" it will boot normally until it tries to load the window drivers. When it gets a bad return status, Lenny's scripts cause it to go into single user mode. Has anyone ever experienced this before. I did occasionally experience some parity errors before installing the Fix Disk 1.0 but only after I installed Lenny's bootup scripts. (Probably a coincidence.) They didn't say kernel parity error though. Anyway, any help would be appreciated getting my 3b1 back on her feet.
