Doug, Phil
Further to my messages on this subject - I have now tried booting the
2.2.5 generic kernel direct from a boot floppy on my Cyrix M2-MMX and
get the same kernel panic message as I get using install in DOS - once
again, it's OK on my 486 (I built my system off it) 
(So you're right Phil - it is damn all to do with EMS/VCPI etc)
