	Here at PEM all maschines are running with SCO UNIX 3.2.2 and there
	no problem with the CO.
	But during the installation we alweays make the same mistakte. We
	forgett to enable the CO on the motherboard, so the kernal will
	panic.
	After setting a new jumper configuration on the motherboard everything 
	is well.
	So have a look on your motherboard, wether there is a single jumper
	for the CO. Try the other constelation .

	Hope this helps

	Tillmann
