Given the point at which you are dying, this isn't related to how much virtual storage you've got allocated. (256MB is more than enough at this point, not nearly enough for the actual install.) The next few messages from a successful IPL would have been: Freeing initrd memory: 8128k freed cpu 0 phys_idx=0 vers=FF ident=18732D machine=2094 unused=8000 Brought up 1 CPUs I don't know what to think is more likely for a failure at this point, the kernel, or the initrd. My hunch is the kernel, but that is just a hunch. Since you're re-downloading things again, that's probably a good thing. Just make sure you run an md5sum check against both the kernel and the initrd. The results should be: 433aec9589d7537645f03d2e05652ee9 vmrdr.ikr c8a7f0b5d3221a8ca2b969321929ae02 initrd Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
