I get as far in the installation as answering all the questions and clicking the install button. The system just panics. My system is a ASUS-SP3G, AMD-5x86/133(it also burns with my i486 dx2/66), dirty tag on L2 cache. ktrace does not give me anything, DDB does not save the core it just burns. Does anybody know what I can try next?
