My attempts with rc1 on an 8500 met with similar results as the 4400 and 7200
reports. I did try the latest Debian 2.2 kernel and a Yellowdog 2.0 kernel to
see if I could get further. Neither of those resulted in the kernel panic and
they both allowed me to get to the CDROM, however, they both died before the
Mandrake Install screen finished painting. Maybe the 48M of RAM in the 8500
isn't quite enough. When I get a chance, I'll see what happens if I add
another 32 M.
