'dos' process dying while booting vsta 1.6.1 ?

Hi.

I'm installing vsta 1.6.1 on a laptop I just bought.

Trouble is, whenever I boot it , the thing starts booting, and then spits:
Boot process 7 dies
[Kernel debugger @ spl 0]
>

So I do a proc, and find:
..
7 dos
 8 ONPROC kstack c0e000 uregs c0efc0 wchan 0 <none>/<none>

Its juyst a DX4-100 laptop with 8mb RAM and a 500ish mbyte HDD. Its running
FAT16. Does anyone have any ideas why its barfing? (I'm new to the GRUB
scene since erm, 4 hours ago :)

Thanks,

Adrian
