Well, I get the same panic when I boot the bootable install disk from
my ESIX (rev C) distribution on my AGI 33Mhz 386 box. It happens EVERY
time, and there has only been one way to aleviate the problem...

I set my bus speed for 8.33Mhz instead of 11Mhz, boot the disk, and all
works fine. Then, at the point when it reboots and you start back up with
the second disk of the base package, I set the bus speed back to 11Mhz and
never see the error again...

Strange, eh? 

recap: I get the 0000000000000000000E :) error when my bus speed is 11Mhz
and I'm booting the base package installation disk. Lowering the bus speed
to 8.33Mhz 'cures' the problem.

Oh, I also got the E panic when I used to have a motherboard (Orchid) that
simply WOULD NOT run ESIX... (returned it for a full refund from Orchid 
direct, it didn't work, but they made it right!)









Hope this has helped a tad... I don't think it's gonna work for you, but
it does seem to point out that: 1.) This error seems to be a catch all,
and/or 2.) These folks (vendors, manufacturers) can't problem solves them
selves out of a paper bag from the inside even with all the error messages
and register contents in the world... :(
