    Hello,

    I have been trying to boot the PGI-woody installation cd, but I get the error:

    Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 01:00

    I have also tried booting the same machine with Knoppix 3.2 and 3.3, but then
    I get an error:

    initrd extends beyond end of memory (0x1bff7ad0 > 0x1bff0000)
    Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 01:00

    Is there something wrong with the CD's I have cut. I have tried them both a
    few times, so what I mean is do I need to do something special when cutting
    these disks?

    They do work on other machines, so I guess there may be something I need to
    change when booting these disk?

    Thanks
    Neil
