Since there's a request for beta testers, I'm downloading hydrogen2 to try on my SparcStation2. Any known issues? I ask because the RedHat 6.2 distro would start loading then would panic because it could not mount the root partition. The Sparc is currently running Solaris 2.5.1 which I don't care about. With Linux, the box would get a new lease on life. Because of a HD crash a few years ago, the machine boots off the external drive. I've tried changing the boot device and could never get past the panic with RedHat's distro. Since Mandrake is based on RH, should I expect the same problem...? If the Sparc's HD must be ext2 to mount /, wouldn't this be a deadlock situation? Thanks, Pierre
