is Microport SysV/386 v3.0 known to be (in)compatible with...

[David Israel]

I'm trying to bring SysV/386 v3.0 up on a Taiwanese clone system. The
motherboard is supposedly a "Dyna" if that name rings a bell; it's 
running at 24 MHz, has 4Mb RAM, and a Phoenix Bios which I believe
is not their newest -- it signs on as version 1.10 02.  The disk
controller is a Western Digital WD1006-SR2 (RLL, 1:1).  If it makes
any difference, there is no 387 installed.  Needless to say,
it all works under DOS, but it won't make it through the SysV "Build
Disk" -- it starts to boot /unix, crunches for about a minute or so,
then hangs with the message:

PANIC: trap type 0xE

followed by a dump of the registers.  This behaviour is repeatable.
I have seen postings on comp.unix.i386 about problems with ISC on
motherboards with earlier Phoenix bioses.  Has anybody had the same
experience under Microport, or better yet, anybody know the definitive
reason for this problem?  Thanks.
