I was so psyched to try the newest version this morning but its just not working. I downloaded the 0.7 iso last night and burned it this morning. Now at work, I was trying to do a HD install on my workstation here. It wont boot. I dont have the output in front of me, but when it tries to create the directories on the ramdisk it gets a cloop read error. It doesnt halt there though. It keeps going, autoconfiging the devices and whatnot and looks like its going to boot fine. Then all of a sudden it says PANIC error going idle for 30 seconds and just keeps displaying that message. I've already tried booting it on several machines with the same result. Anybody seen this before?

I have experienced cloop read errors when I had DMA turned on for some CDROM drives.

If you are using the "dma" boot option, try again without using it.
