This looks like an Intel Triton chip set, is this the ASUS PCI/I-P54TP4
motherboard?  Or is it the SuperMicro or Intel Zappa board?

Also have you done anthing in the BIOS setup values like set the floppy

This happens if the system has not started the init process
yet :-(, the kernel attempts to deliver a signal to pid 1, which
does not exist at this time :-(.
