TILO fails; watchdog reset errors

[mdxi <mdxi@collapsar.net>]

For somewhat obscure reasons, I'm trying to get a ELC to boot off my SS20.

I actually *have* it booting using helllabs' nfsroot packages but the libs 
included in it are so old that nothing NFS exported from outside the tftp 
root directory will actually run (it's ancient, kernel 2.0.33).

That is to say, the machine boots successfully and the few utils in the 
nfsroot package run fine but -- for instance -- if /usr is exported from 
the 20, nothing there will run successfully.

I finally hit upon the solution of doing a minimal install of debian into 
the exported root directory and building on top of that. However, after 
tftpboot.img loads and TILO sits there thinking for a moment, this happens:

	Watchdog Reset
	Memory Address not Aligned
	>

A bit of googling turns up many posts claiming that this is caused by bad 
RAM or cache, but running 'test /memory' returns no errors, and the thing 
*boots* when using an alternate kernel.

This admittedly silly and nigh-pointless endeavor has now burned up just 
about all the time i'm willing to devote with no satisfactory results. Any 
ideas?
