As during the install the kernel is configured to make the most of the machine it was installed on, it will panic when it finds itself surrounded an unknown processor, mainboard, etc. The only way you could have gotten away with it, is if you had found an exactly the same armada _with_ a CD drive and installed on that. So, if you have a floppy drive, you can try a network install. Or, copy the install files to a partition on the harddrive, set it up as source during an install starting from floppy. I haven't done this before, but I think it has been discussed on the list. If you have no floppy drive either, then we've reached the level of my incompetence also. Andras -- Linux User #245991
