I reassembled a cyrix box out of bits and gave the 8.0.93 disk a spin. It seems
happy enough
but I need to try a newer image at some point
Comment 2 Richard Hebert 2003-02-21 10:20:52 EST 
At this time im redownloading the disk one.
Also i have booted the disk in my other machine with a Duron processor
and it works just fine.The media check for disk 1 is not reporting errors.

Would it be of any help to try install the kernel from the disk that 
isnt booting to try isolate the problem ? 

You have my full cooperation and any help i can give to resolve this 
is your's.

best regards 

Richard
Comment 3 Richard Hebert 2003-02-21 11:28:40 EST 
last test 
1) this release im testing is 8.0.94

2) I switched cpu's in this machine with a new out of the box Cyrix II 
To make  a comparison or see if the older CPU was defective.
I retried,it is the same error exactly.
The new disk also passes the medium test on the duron ,boots on it,
checks ok.
Motherboard issue ? 

PS:im just trying to give you as much info as i can.

From now on ill keep quiet :)
