hey Bob, Its very likely that the success of the i386 install wasn't due to the architecture, but rather to a newer kernel used (kernel has changed significantly between 20061110 and 20070215). Please try the 20070215 amd64 installer. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
