It installs bin etc. etc. and gives an information message something along the lines of 'updating kernel params with -c ...' and then panics with a message along the lines of 'panic: can't do anything without my init' (I can get the exact text I think..if it really is a problem). >How-To-Repeat: Its repeatable - did it two or three times, including after configuring the kernel with only needed devices. (The machine was installing onto EIDE on a Triton HX motherboard with 64MB of RAM; the machine also had an Adaptec 2940UW (no devices attached) and was sucking data over an NE2000 netcard. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
