I tested the Jan 3rd i386 netinst iso. It still doesn't work with older ATAPI CD-ROMs that can't handle DMA, since 1) the standard kernel parameter ide=nodma gets mysteriously ignored by the installer, and 2) AFAIK, not all motherboard BIOS allow the disabling of DMA. I don't know if you consider that badly wrong or not. That standard-issue, documented kernel parameters get ignored by the installer seems disturbing to me. That a common problem that has long been worked around in Linux installers is now being overlooked also bugs me. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Find out what made the Top Yahoo!
