OK that suggestion worked:-) But I start booting the kernel and is dies
after this message:

Failure in kernel at PC: c00f0500, MSR: 89930

This shows up right after these lines:

Machine check at PC: c00f0500, SR: 89930
NIP: C00F0500, MSR: 00089930, DAR: C2157C6C, DSISR: 00000001, FRAME:
c025ec28
TASK = c025f018[1] 'swapper'

I do not have any clue as to what this could be. I have never seen this
on a PC running Linux?
