There are known issues with Athlons and the beta 1 kernel. As a workaround,
use the i686 kernel for now.
Bill, I'm running an Athlon Thunderbird 1.0Gb here, and I'm having similar
problems with Severn. Of *eight* attempted installs, this is the _third_
successful
one. How long severn will last, is a huge question. Between last night
and today,
I've installed Severn several times, either the Personal Desktop,
Workstation
(with selected applications), and Workstation (default apps).
So far (... at least, on *my* machine) "Severn" seems to be consonant with
'crash and burn'.
