I've tried booting the machine with the same install kernel, but now have a
different error. The only thing that has changed with the machine it the
amount of RAM it has - gone from 66->162Mb (in case this has something to do
with the problem!). The pool_panic error before the installation of this RAM
was consistent.

The machine boots, and:
probes podule 0 (disabled viewfinder) reporting it is an acorn ether3 card, 
probes podule 1 which is a cumana scsi 2 card,
probes podule 2 which is a simtec idefs card (going to be used in
installation) and then...
  
*Bang!*
