Problem Description: With these distributions and with every kernel version
newer than 2.6.8, kernel fails to boot. 
There are no error messages, the pc 'freeze' just before the page with the
penguin logo, this is the freezed page:

MMU:enter
MMU: hw init

Sometimes the final word 'exit' is not clear (some pixels are in strange positions)

version newer than 2.6.8
