PART 1
I get a "block move error 0x01" when trying to boot from a Slackware 96
bootfloppy that has sbpcd.s rawrite'd onto it.  The error message comes after I
press Enter from the prompt and the screen looks like this:

boot:
Loading ramdisk
block move error 0x01
boot: ramdisk
block move error 0x01
boot: ramdisk
[etc...]

The system sits there until I press Enter and then keeps getting the same error.
The hardware is an Intel Pentium-S 75 with Award BIOS 4.5G, PCI motherboard with
onboard IDE.  I get the same error when I disable the onboard IDE using the CMOS
setup utility and connect an IDE board in a 16bit ISA slot to the 1.44MB floppy
drive.

PART 2
I disabled the CPU internal cache and got further into the installation.  I
selected to install sets "a ap d f k" from my CD, proceeded to install them and
then made a boot disk from the bootkernel floppy.  The last step was to reboot
from the new boot floppy by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del.  The subsequent screen looks
like this:

crc error

-- System halted

Is the Pentium75 incompatible with Linux?
What other information do you need to diagnose the problem?
Suggestions?

You might want to try to re-compile the kernel with the DRAM settings
turned down to X-4-4-4 for read and X-4-4-4 for write. This CRC error was
probably happening during the compilation.
