I believe these are the three images I tried. I don't remember exactly
which ones failed where on the 2.6, but they all died on various legacy
drivers. I will try the ones with the new kernel mentioned in a different
message if I can't get it to work by then. The 2.4 ones all die in the
partition management stuff. It locks up hard, so I can't see what it's
doing when it dies, but the last stuff I was able to catch by just running
ps in the shell constantly was some of the partition related scripts. I
know I saw 10check_swap. The whole kernel locks up with no messages in
the debug console (4), and I can't change consoles at that point.
