Default Pentium II doesn't like LZMA compressed ramdisks

Further experimentation with the Thinkpad 600E has revealed that it will fail to decompress initial ramdisks that use the XZ or LZMA compression algorithm, resulting in a kernel panic. Failure to decompress XZ/LZMA compressed files never occurs under any other circumstances.

Anyone know why this is? Any workarounds?

Bumped because I managed to fix it - it was a BIOS bug of some sort, and updating to BIOS revision 1.15 got rid of it.

Having a pentium II in 2012 should be illegal.
