I was given some old RDI PowerLite laptops to use -- unknown accounts/passwords. I tried to reinstall 2.5.1 desktop from a scsi cdrom drive, but during the install it panics, due to 'panic: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root' error.
Anyone more clueful want to lend some guesses? Each laptop performs exactly the same way, so I don't think it's a specific hardware fault.

You need two things to make it work:
WD-40 to make it go
Duct Tape to make it stop.
