ISO fails to boot

[iipreca]

Greetings

I downloaded the latest TinyCore from the web site on 4-9-12, I am not sure which version it is as it does not tell me and I am unable to find which version it is.
I promptly burned the iso to a DVD and loaded it into my target machine which is an Intel P4 with 1.5Gig ram. At the boot prompt I press enter and wait for it to boot, however, I get this error and am hoping someone can help shed some light on what is happening.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL point

You can check the md5sum against those at the mirror (the "version" command would work too, if you could boot ).

Beyond it being a kernel bug, and having seen one other report from a P4 owner, I'm afraid I can't help much.

It's most likely that you've downloaded a release 4.4 ISO file, but you could take a look at the release directory, where you'd also find the respective MD5 checksum files. In this regard I'd like to stress that IMHO it is important to check the integrity of the downloaded file as well as the burnt DVD or CD-ROM.

Furthermore to have any chance to figure out what happened before the kernel crashed you might want to force the display to show more lines and then take a picture of the crash (which could then be uploaded on a image hosting service and linked to it). To gain more lines I'd suggest to use the 'vga=ask' boot code (that means at the 'boot:' prompt enter 'tc vga=ask') and follow the instruction.
