Hello, I have a BIG :-))) problem. Using hd.img for install from ext2 partition fails on "second stage ramdisk" ( or something like ) I think that this is a problem with my hardware. On the same machine I have installed without problems: SuSE 6.4 Gentus 3.0a RedHat 6.2 Debian 2.2 Slackware 7 ( and "test" ) The only error message is that the installation fails. Before this I get "eax:...", this is a kernel error, I think. My hardware: MB Soyo with Via chipset 25 GB UDMA 66 2.5 GB ( old ) ( on same IDE ) Pioneer DVD rom ide 10x HP cd writer 9110i (on other IDE channel ) Nvidia TNT2 with 32 MB ( non M64 ) HFC based PCI card Realtek 8029 PCI network card PS/2 Mouse ( Logitech with wheel or MS Intellimouse ) ( with 7.1 and Cooker 27/08 if change mouse to Intellimouse the point disappear ) PS/2 Keyboard Wintv PCI card external Elsa TLV 34 ISDN modem SoundBlaster Live ( the second serial port is bios disabled by me ) ----------------------------------------------------- Some other thing: XFdrake ( and DrakConf ) write some default configuration that disable , for example, my mouse settings ( "Buttons" "5" - "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" ). Also reset my monitor ( AOC 7GLR )to "" .... This happens also if I choose to exit without changes. Just launch XFdrake and exit!! Another problem came using Matrox G400 16 MB AGP, the card is not detected by XFdrake and I can choose only from low resolutions (max 800x600 at 32K ). .... XFdrake --expert --noauto and I can choose manually the card and all resolutions are back! Many thanks and best regards, alessandro mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
