Matt;

Ok, here are the results.

Tried the P-166 chip in place of the cyrix with 32 Meg mem. - no help

Reloaded the whole works linux, rt stuff, emc using your?, Tim's?
script.
EMC actually loaded. no more segmentation faults. finally.
have not hooked up my machine to it yet, but it really runs.

Tried the cyrix chip again just for fun. - Damn those segmentation
faults.
maybe something in the way cyrix addresses memory?

anyway thanks for the help
