Thanks for the report and the forum reference above - I can confirm that I can
reproduce the error here.
Digging around for a couple of hours shows that we appear to generating an unexpected
memory fault when reading the kernel from the disk which is why the loader appears to
freeze (I can see it running through the OpenBIOS code to display the fault, but
obviously things are so bad that it doesn't make it to the console).
Now to try and figure out the difference between the good and bad images...
ATB,
Mark.
