I recently purchased a IPC 386/25 with a 110meg Microscience HD with an integrated AT controller and 2megs RAM (SIPs, if that makes any difference..) ANYWAY, I'm trying to get Microport SYS V up & running on it but I get a kernal panic error when I try to install it. The docs say only 1.5 megs is required, but that 2.5 is recommended. Has anyone out there got Microport up with 2 megs? How'dya do it, huh? The local demi-guru at work claims the extra RAM should do the trick, but I'm just a poor yooniversitee stoodent and I don't wanna drop big bucks to upgrade my RAM unless I have to. Tanks. Send responses to CDA0048@applelink.apple.com with 'to Rob' in the subject, 'cause I don't get access to this account very much. -Rob Hutten -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _R_o_b _H_u_t_t_e_n : 880139h@aucs.uucp 542-1686/678-7088 Wolfville, NS, Canada -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can boot up a 386 with Microport V/386 on just 1MB of memory. You can't really run much but it will boot. I seem to recall that way back when I tried booting off the boot disk on a machine with only 640K and it would just simply reboot itself at some point after trying to come up. I dont remember getting any panics. John -- John Gayman, WA3WBU | UUCP: uunet!wa3wbu!john 1869 Valley Rd. | Marysville, PA 17053 | Packet: WA3WBU @ WB3EAH
