Reinstalled with lilo and it worked perfectly. I used the 2.6 kernel with grub, and the 2.4 kernel for lilo. The 2.6 kernel could not detect my network card, the 2.4 kernel could. I have the TG3 gigabit network card. If I switch to a virtual console, ALT-F2 when I switch back the installation screen has horizonal lines across it, which makes it impossible for me to continue installing, as I can't see the choices. I was unable to install to this system using debian woody, as it has a highpoint controller, even though I am not using highpoint for raid support. It saw the disks perfectly with the new installer. -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
