I just tried an installation and it works for me. Via the serial console, it's hard to tell what is going on because you cannot open another shell to look at log files. You could wait until SSH support is implemented. Alternatively, you could skip the partitioning tool and format and mount the partitions yourself... You have to use devfs paths (/dev/ide/....). Just do something like: mkswap /dev/ide/.../part2 swapon /dev/ide/.../part2 mkdir -p /target mkfs.ext3 /dev/ide/.../part3 mount /dev/ide/.../part/3 /target mkdir -p /target/boot mkfs.ext2 -r 0 /dev/ide/.../part1 mount /dev/ide/.../part/1 /target/boot And then install the base system. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
