boot.iso not booting

[Martin <martin lnuxpwrd net>]

I'm trying to use the latest boot.iso in the Fedora Core development
tree, and it's not getting very far in boot.   I've tired it on 3
systems, 2 of which fail early in boot, though with a bit different
messages.  the Sony Vaio Z1RA dies very shortly after uncompressing
the kernel with this call trace:

inode_alloc_security
alloc_inode
init_file
__pnp_bios_get_dev_node
pnp_bios_get_dev_node
build_devlist
pnpbios_init
do_initcalls
init_workqueues
init
init
kernel_thread_helper

Code: Bad EIP value

any ideas?
