Your problem was just solved on sm-sorcery. ;) It's an integer overflow in
simpleinit-msb which Robert sent in a patch to fix which is now in test and
stable grimoires (well, once the tarball is regenerated). Check the archives
of
sm-sorcery for the patch if you want to fix it now. You can boot with a rescue
CD to get past this to fix it.
