another machine before.) The 'problem' machine is a Pentium III (IIRC)
450MHz machine with 2 hard drives. I get to the 'options' menu, don't
add anything extra, then hit 'OKAY'. The CD spins for a couple of
seconds then nothing seems to happen for about a minute. Then I am back
on the text/console screen with a Kernel Panic message. The top lines I
can read say
Process Swapper
Stack
Call trace
... cdrom_start_read_continuation+0x0/0xb0 ...

EIP [...] ide_execute_command
0 Kernel panic - not syncing
Fatel execption in interrupt
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Michael
Partitioning is a hassle and potentially risky -- have you considered just
moving your /opt to another partition and symlinking?
Dave
strangely enough, that's what I did in the end! I did get gparted to
work (apt-get and then run, rather than boot CD) but wasn't poss to
repartition easily due to presence of a large extended partition.
Thanks, Michael
