The following error occurs with versions 7.2 release and later
this message is from 8 RC2. All versions tried with 7.1 release and
earlier work fine, I tried 7.1, 7.2 and 6.4. I rebuilt 8 RC2 CD with
"loader"
from 7.1 release and the 8 RC2 comes up O.K. now.
I have two questions:
1) is anybody familiar with this problem
2) is it ok to install 8 RC2 using the 7.1 "loader"

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
panic: free: guard1 fail @ 0xbb797074 from (diretory path to)
common/console.c:94
--> Press a key (etc)

I have not seen that before. Can you try compiling a loader on 8 that doesn't
include GPT support? (cd /sys/boot; make LOADER_NO_GPT_SUPPORT=yes)

A loader from 7.1 should work ok on 8.0.
