Just got my InstantCake CD to bring my for Sony SVR2000 back to life. I popped the CD in my computer and got "kernel panic: out of memory and no killable process".

The computer is a custom built system that has been running Windows 2000. The particulars: AMD K6-400, 40G drive, 327M RAM, and the disk and CD are verified to be connected as instructed. I stripped all the other HW out of it.

The last message before the kernel panic is "RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0". This is the original TiVo disk that was been corrupted.

Also, I have been successul at booting mfstools2 and mount the PtUpgrade CD.

Any thoughts?

There have been similar posts on this forum with AMD K6 PC's - we don't have one to replicate the problem, but my guess is that you'll need a different PC if the CD isn't booting in the PC you are currently using.

I have a new PC - P4-2.8Ghz, 1Gig RAM on an XPC board but it seems to stop on this line:

>>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e0809000

then the last 2 lines are:

>>Code: 80 3e 00 75 fa 80 7e 01 00 75 f4 83 c6 02 89 c5 3b 6c 24 20
>>Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init!

after that .. nothing.

Any suggestions?
