zfs discuss - Nov 2007 - snv-76 panics on installation

I have an Intel based server running dual P3 Xeons (Intel A46044-609, 1.26GHz)
with a BIOS from American Megatrends Inc (AMIBIOS, SCB2 production BIOS rev 2.0,
BIOS build 0039) with 2GB of RAM

when I attempt to install snv-76 the system panics during the initial boot from
CD

I''ve been using this system for extensive testing with ZFS and have had
no problems installing snv-68, 69 or 70, but I''m having this problem
with snv-76

any information regarding this problem or a potential workaround would be
appreciated

Thx ... bill moloney

please post the panic stack (to the list, not to me alone), if possible, 
and as much other information as you have (ie. what step does the panic 
happen at, etc.)

where did you get the media from (is it really a CD, or a DVD?)?
Can you read/mount the CD when running an older build? if no, are there 
errors in the messages file? ...
