Getting Ubuntu Server 8.04 to run on a VIA C3 Eden processor

Install from CD
- Notice that the reboot fails to load the kernel
Boot from CD and enter recover mode
- Launch a shell on the root partition
- apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic. This replaces the server kernel with one that will boot on the VIA processor.
- Edit the grub menu.lst
  - Remove all the references to the server kernel
- Remove all files ending in -server from the /boot directory. This will prevent them from being accidentally added in future.
Reboot
Run apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-19-server. This will prevent accidentally upgrading to a bad kernel.
