When booting from srm prompt with the following line b dka400 -fi kernels/generic.gz -fl "root=/dev/scd0" The system panics almost imeadiately after aboot finishes loading and the kernel starts. This has been reproduced on several similar systems with 300 and 400 mhz cpu's. If the mikasa-s-5.gz kernel from the redhat 5.2 cd is used instead of the 6.0 generic kernel, you can get the system installed. However if you do this the setup program cannot configure the system after loading all the rpms. This platform is on the supported list, I would think that it would at least boot.
