I still have the exact same problem with our s2881's. I've attached the
minicom boot log (gzipped). The kernel boots but at some point LinuxBIOS just
takes over again and the boot process halts. This is Etherboot 5.4.1 with
SATA support.

Is there anything I could be doing wrong that causes this? These machines
need to go into production soon, and I really want them to run LinuxBIOS.

I've also attached the Config.lb file.

Thanks,
Ward.

interesting, your kernel is just exploding.

have you tried booting memtest?

can you tried booting single user and seeing how long it can do things 
for you?

thanks

Ah?! You mean it is panicking?

Yes. It ran for several days without problems; memory checked out fine too.

I'll try that now.
