Try to make your own initrd without compressing the image, then you might be able to boot the thing (put it on the hard drive). It sounds to me as it might be a flaky cdrom player, cpu or ram? Try to disable dma on the cdrom? reduce the clock settings for the cpu and/or ram? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT Networks, Jokkmokk, Sweden. | Mandrake Linux release 8.2 (Cooker) for i586 | Current uptime with kernel 2.4.13-2mdksmp: 14:53 | cpu0 @ 814.28 bm, fan 4500 rpm, temp +30.0°C | cpu1 @ 815.92 bm, fan 4440 rpm, temp +29°C
