I'm trying to install off a daily (last few days[0]), so i dont think silo config is an option(?). Unfortunately i still get the same error. [1] The error is as follows (sorry about any line breaks):
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Loaded kernel version 2.6.18 Loading initial ramdisk (3923248 bytes at 0x2F802000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt ) ... Illegal Instruction ok op-0 This is the same error as before the new kernel.
