Hello.

I downloaded  and burned the ISO  for NetBSD 1.5.2  on i386 in a  CD and
booted it in my Compaq Armada 7750MT laptop.

During the boot process I got a kernel panic:

[...]
isapnp0: no ISA Plug 'n Play devices found
biomask ffc5 netmask ffc5 ttymask ffc7
pcic0: controller 0 detecting irqs with mask 0xde18:..9..10uvm_fault(0xc058f160, 0x0, 0, 1) -> 1
kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Stopped in swapper at   0xc02a9760:     movl          0x14(%ecx),%edx

(null)(3e0,c02b8878,c02b88c0,2,0) at          0
Bad frame pointer: 0xc071e000

I repeated the boot process and I got exactly the same crash.

I don't know  what to do and I  really want to get NetBSD  running in my
laptop.  I have never used any BSD operating system for any serious work
but I have been using other Unix systems for a few years.

Can anyone suggest what could be going wrong or what to do at the kernel
debugger?

Thank you very much.

Alejo.
