An update on my little problem - After recompiling the kernel and found I then had a corrupt source file. Checked the sources on another machine and everyting looked fine.... Put the problem to one side for a week or so and returned to it this weekend. The NFS download and compile worked without a hitch. For a while at least !! Started getting a new error - Something to do with an IDE error. OK swap the dive with another one, still the same problem - Try both the drives in another box and found both to be fine. Last straw - Changed the PSU. Everything has been running fine for the last three days.
It looks as if it has been a hardware problem causing the trouble.
Regards, Paul.

do an NFS install, it all goes as I expect. But on booting up the new machine, lilo does what it should, the kernel starts to load, then
trouble.
I get an error message "crc error --system halted--".
From a quick look at the kernel source it looks as if this error comes from a module called inflate.c which is used to uncompress the kernel image once it has been loaded into memory.
The most likely cause of the message therefore is the compressed kernel image as loaded into memory being corrupt and in the case of a kernel being loaded from hard disk the most likely cause of that is the LILO kernel image map being out of date so LILO loads the wrong disk blocks.
The solution is to make sure the /sbin/lilo commands gets run between installing the kernel onto the hard disk of the newly installed machine and the reboot.
Hope this helps. Steve.
