Comments/Problems:
... Continuation of above "Boot Procedure"... - At SILO boot: prompt press [Enter] - Kernel error: Kernel starts fine! All joy, until...
Freeing initrd memory: 2859k freed cramfs: wrong magic Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
Ramdisk driver installed okay, detected IDE controller, etc..
Thought may be possibly related to bug #242343. Cracked open the case, moved the DIMMS from slots 3/4 to 1/2. Still no luck.
As I tried both the netinst and the business card CDs; and both failed, i'm assuming it's an installer issue.
