I had an earlier 5.x running on it, but it won't seem to boot a 5.4 install CD. It reads it, starts to boot (Screen goes black, and for a fleeting moment I see kernel stuff). Then I get: halted CPU 0 halt code = 7 machine check while in PAL mode PC = 14060 I have no idea how to check the kernel console to see the panic, if it did indeed panic, as it has VGA on it. Any advice, or information on how to go about debugging this would be helpful. Jason (Alpha newbie by admission)
