I downloaded debian-30r6-alpha-binary-1.iso and was able to install from it. Very bad. Sounds like a regression of the debian installer. You should give a try to the new installer for Debian Etch, when it comes out. By now, I could suggest you to boot the 2.4 kernel instead of 2.6 (as the 3.0 installation uses the 2.4 kernel which works for you). If even this doesn't work, then install a base 3.0 system and upgrade to 3.1 by "apt-get dist-upgrade". Bye gl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
