Bug Description

Tried to install hoary-preview on slow & low-memory machine.
It has 48Mb, and 100Mhz Pentium.
Using 'server' or 'server-expert'
long after the 'partition-disks' at 'installing base system'
it failed, with kernel panics. I don;t have digital-camera
to shoot the screen. But the call stacks were different.
They ended with
case-1: run_time_softirq
case-2: kmem_cache_alloc

Sorry, but without a full copy of the crash it is impossible to debug
this problem.

Also, it would be a very good idea if you could run a memtest on that machine.

Getting 2 different crashes might not be necessarely related to the kernel.

Lowering severity since there is no copy of the crash.
