I have forced the geometry of the disk using the utility on the CDROM, the name of which escapes me at present. I have put a small DOS partitition at the front of the disk (which I don't really want by the way), as this seems to make the whole thing go further. But I consistently get a kernel panic (Fault code supervisor read, page not present) while the installer is copying files off the CD. Are there any known problems with the configuration that I have, is there any other way that I can try of installing the O/S to get around this type of problem? Any tips appreciated.
