I did nothing special. I tried to install LM 9.0 final and got a plethora of errors. After that I tried to install with one of the alternative boot images, that went well. Now I can't boot the system. the kernel hangs on "Freeing unused kernel memory". I tried to upload the entire report.bug, but it is too big for this list, it doesn't get posted. I don't know really which information to post anymore, I've seen so many errors. > This seems to be non-Intel and non-AMD CPU (Cyrix or VIA). What release > are you using?

If I knew for sure the problem lies with the CPU I would buy another one, to get rid of this nuisance. >From report.bug: ******************************************************************************** * lspci ******************************************************************************** agpgart : VIA Technologies|VT82C691 [Apollo PRO] [NOT_DEFINED] unknown : VIA Technologies|VT82C598 [Apollo MVP3 AGP] [NOT_DEFINED] unknown : VIA Technologies|VT82C686 [Apollo Super] [NOT_DEFINED] unknown : VIA Technologies|VT82C586 IDE [Apollo] [NOT_DEFINED] usb-uhci : VIA Technologies|VT82C586B USB [NOT_DEFINED] usb-uhci : VIA Technologies|VT82C586B USB [NOT_DEFINED] unknown : VIA Technologies|VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI] [NOT_DEFINED] snd-emu10k1 : Creative Labs|SB Live!
