I have slackware 2.0.13 running on a pentium 133MHz (call it
box A). I have tried to take the bootable hard disk and run it on a second
pentium (box B). On box A everything works well. On box
B, when I try to boot from a floppy (same kernel) all goes
well. When I try to boot box B from the hard drive, I find
the following:
1) lilo is found and loaders start;
2) kernel is loaded;
3) kernel is started;
4) when the kernel gets around to the point of fscking
the root file system before mounting, I get the following
oops message:

When I run rn vmlinux, I find that the eip address goes into
the alloc_area_pages routine of the kernel.
Assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanks much and regards to all
