I did last night (2.6.25-2-486)... it works, as long an I choose the 486 kernel As I did not remove the 686 version before I updatet I also had the newest 686 kernel (2.6.25-2-686) installed and tried it - same problem, not booting I installed the 2.6.22 kernel because there was no higher 486 on the netinstall image (did not activate network connection) selecting -486 for this vendor-id will probably solve the issue -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
