Linux Install on PB520 fun

[John Steven Sobtzak <john.sobtzak@ndsu.nodak.edu>]

 Hi.  I'm still not having much luck getting Potato installed on my PB520. 
Most recently I have tried the Penguin-19 installer, which seems to detect 
my Ethernet unlike Penguin-18, and  I've tried the 2.4.0, 2.4.1 kernels 
from sourceforge (which cleared the bus error) and also tried the Woody 
kernel.    I've noticed in the log files that Penguin-19 generates (see 
attached) that it is having troubles turning off one of the slot interupts 
and I am wondering if this is causing some problems.  Here is what I've 
got, se the associated log files for more:

1) Penguin19_k241.log (using log file name to differentiate the attempts, 
here Penguin-19 installer with kernel 2.4.1):
 - Penguin-19 detects my built-in Ethernet and shuts it down prior to 
starting linux.
 - Appletalk and Ethernet are killed before starting linux booter.  Log 
file shows error turning off slot interupt(s).
 - Ran this combination twice, looks like the ram disk loads (black text 
on white background), and the kernel loads, but computer shuts down before 
reaching installer.
 - Once thought I saw some graphic appear on screen just before shut down.

2) Penguin19_k240.log
 - Kills Ethernet and Appletalk.
 - Errors turning off slot interupts in log file
 - *** Does NOT turn of computer, instead stop on a "kernel panic: 
attempted to kill init!!" message (possibly due to one of the active 
interupts????)
 - Think this is the closest I've come!

3) Penguin19_woody.log (tried with the Woody kernel per someone's 
suggestion)
 - See the "BUS ERROR 7" message and again and startup halts -> need the 
2.4.x kernel.
 - Still see errors in turning off slot interupts.


 Please advise/help/RSVP!!  Thanks.

John

P.S. I've again included the hardware dumps that Penguin-19 produces at the 
begining of each log file.
