Just thought i put out a warning about an old atapi cdrom: goldstar 8X 580B. When the packages install begins it simply shuts down and dies. the screen handling the cdrom outputs something like "lost irq" So if yer having a goldstar cdrom maybe it is whats making yer day so messy :) /Jimmi

After a week and a half i have found out why my computer stalled during install: i loose the IRQ to my GOLDSTAR 8X atapi cdrom. why is it lost i dont know. When the packages start installing my cd just dies. I can eventually get it to work again by manually switching the power off and back
