Missing FS and/or controller drivers will result in a regular kernel |
| 6 |
boot with a panic at the end, when it's time to mount root and load init. |

In this case grubs seems to load the kernel image, but the kernel hangs |
| 9 |
before printing anything. |

I would check the processor type setting (A 3GHz Celeron should be |
| 12 |
P4-based) and/or muck around with ACPI. Also try disabling framebuffer |
| 13 |
drivers and using a plain VGA console. |

Leave all advanced settings in your bios to their defaults. |

And no, EM64T just means it *can* run amd64 -- i686 is fine and IMO a |
| 18 |
lot better for that kind of hardware if you do not absolutely need to |
| 19 |
run 64-bit code for some reason. |
