No, this is the generic-26 build.  I suspect the generic-24 is the 
previous one which I'm about to try.

Is this coming from the kernel or from the Installer?  There's a totally

Looks like the kernel couldn't recognize the disk partitions.  How did 
you do the install? Via Mkfs/Installer or thru the installation kernel?

At least you got the kernel up and running before things went South.  I'm
