I've been trying the 6.0 BETA's on several machines, and I've seen a
lot of them crashing during the BTX loader from CD. Usually it just
fills up the screen endlessly with scrolling BTX exception messages,
which alas makes these messages unreadable (and thus no hand copying
possible!). This can only be stopped by resetting the machine.
Today I tried 6.0-BETA2 and BETA4 on my new ThinkPad X41, with an
attached USB DVD-RW drive, and I got a similar error. However, in
some cases it keeps on printing exception messages, just as on the
other boxes, but in other cases (especially when the CD is still
spinning up) you get 1 exception message, and then the machine simply
reboots.
So without further ado, here's my hand copying work:

BTX halted
Looks like a general protection fault, and I'm going to check the BTX
code to see if this occurs somewhere in there.
Anyone also seen this specific exception message? Most other OS
install CD's (e.g. Linux, Windows) I throw at this machine boot
without problems, btw.
P.S: I just tried 5.4-RELEASE on the same X41, and BTX crashes there
too... :(
