Update:
I had a play around with the hardware. I used a different CD drive - no change. then I putboth the HD and the CDROM drive on the same IDE bus (IDE0) - this time it got past the "Now the root filesystem is filled with data..." bit, print a sucess message in green, then... 'Segmentation error' printed twice, then loads of alarming looking messages, too fast to write down ! I even tried it with both the HD & CD drives on IDE1 & IDE0 disabled. It booted a bit slower, but I got the same problem.
I'm now thinking it is not a DSL problem, rather a DSL reaction to another problem as I tried to install VectorLInux 4.3 from CD, but get the message that a zip file is corrupted (downlaoded & burnt the ios image twice & checked the md5 sum, all OK) VectorLinux 3.2 would not even boot from the floppy. The only OS I managed to install was FreeDOS, but for some reason that did not detect the CDROM drive.
I tried it (DSL install) with one of the RAM modules removed (64MB), but still the same problem...
