Bug#492751: Lenny beta 2 dies on boot up

[Tex <tex@tex-world.de>]

I had the same problem on the VIA Nehemiah (in my case: stepping 8, 1 GHz)

as explained in this link

http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-07/msg11568.html

this seems to be a problem of the via chip (something about stepping and 
NOP's) in kernels above 2.6.22

I installed the 2.6.22-3-486 from the lenny repository (via rescue mode of the 
installer)

kernel is now booting - some dma problems remain

maybe there is a chance to choose the 2.6.22 image by default for the buggy 
cpu
