If you are installing on amd system then moving to p3 system, and the kernel is crashing, then you need to find a way to boot a more generic kernel on the target system. If there is no CD the hopefully there is floppy drive. Prepare or find a generic kernel for the floppy disk, and when booting, from the boot prompt, you'll need to do something like: generic-kernel-name root=/dev/hda1 noinitrd Where generic-kernel-name is the name of the kernel on boot disk and root points to the root filesystem partition on the target machine. Basically you want to boot the kernel on the floppy but boot it using the root filesystem on the target hard drive. Once the system is booted, compile a new kernel on the p3 and update the bootloader accordingly to refer to the new kernel. -- Doug
