As you already noticed, you need a 2.4 kernel to be able to do a |

I remember that I had problems with the newer Gentoo-Live CD's. Search |

We can't help because you provided to less informations. Where occures |

If you are able to identify the subsystem where it panics, try to |

The Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt in the kernel-source-tree gives |
| 36 |
you some insight in the options. |
