:Hi,
:
:I just downloaded the 'live' CD  (2004-03-17b) but it is unable to complete
:the boot process. I don't know how to copy the text from the screen since
:the boot process does not complete. It stops at the at the db> prompt. Some
:of the text is...
:
:..
:xl0: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL> irq 10 at device 15.0 on pic0
:xl0: couldn't map ports/memory
:xl0: reset didn't complete
:xl0: command never completed!
:xl0: command never completed!
:xl0: command never completed!

:Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
:fault virtual address = 0x0
:fault code = supervisor write, page not present
:ip = 0x8:0xc03d6d6f
:Stopped at generic_bzero+0xf: repe stosl  %es%(%edi)

:What additional information do you need? Also, please let me know how to
:dump the text displayed to a file or something. The machine is a PIII 500
:Mhz with Windows 2000 currently installed.

:Thanks,
:K.S.

    Do a 'trace' from debugger prompt.  I don't know why it isn't recognizing
    the 'xl' device, but we may be able to at least fix the crash... it's
    probably an assumed malloc() problem.

    Also 'boot -v' might help.

    I'm afraid there is no easy way to dump the console output on the screen.
    People usually set up a serial console to another machine to capture
    console output.
