Grub cannot boot kickstart - error 13

Hi all,

When I try to boot kickstart/pistachio, grub halts with:

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

I am using pistachio 0.4 inside vmware on a pentium M machine.  The same 
error occurs for the binary distribution, the 0.4 source distribution, 
and the CVS repository.

I tried the following at the grub command prompt:

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> kernel /boot/kickstart

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

grub> kernel /boot/i686-kernel

****a bunch of memory addresses in hex****

Of course, trying to boot the kernel directly causes a Memory descriptor 
overlow error.


# file kickstart
kickstart: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
statically linked, not stripped
# file i686-kernel
# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060928 ..........

Am I missing a step here?

Thanks,
-Stu
