I was mucking around trying to get the Challenge S booting
about 2 months ago. There were problems then since this
machine doesn't have a graphics card. Just got several
of the latest compiled kernels and still no luck. Anyone
have a kernel which boots on these machines?
TIA. Cheers, Bill
-Looks like it is still probing for graphics.

^^ At least it catches the error now and doesn't
have to be hard booted. ;p
