Trixbox/Linux on Dimension e520 Installation Error!

Hello,

I and a ton of others are having issues installing Trixbox on the Dell Dimension e520 (and some of your other hardware). Trixbox is simply CentOS Linux (currently CentOS 4.4) with Asterisk integrated unto it as a VoIP Server/IP-PBX(next Trixbox version will be based on CentOS 5.0). After installation, Trixbox is supposed to perform some post-install auto-configurations and reboot about three times or so, but the e520 just cannot get past the first boot. It comes up with the same error for everyone who has tried;
...

Creating root device
mkrootdev: label / not found
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!


Here are a few forum threads (out of a ton of threads) with this same issue (tons of other site forums have the same issue):

Its obvious that a lot of us like the e520 but we would also like to be able to use it. I personally have two of the e520 PCs and will only get more for my clients if Trixbox can work on it. It will also be nice if the onboard NIC is compatible with Trixbox. So we would like to have a solution to this soon.

Thanx.
