Hi. I've seen mention of several partial installs on LX164 boards, but none going the whole route. Both the following were done with the images at http://people.debian.org/~falk/disks-alpha I made the rescue & root floppies, and retrieved the rest during install. Machine specs at bottom. With ArcBIOS v5.70: The LX164 MILO disk works great. The install is almost flawless, with two exceptions: tasksel exits with an error stating that all task definitions are duplicated. This condition is present also in the woody & sid versions of tasksel on a running system. The installer will not write linload.exe and milo to the 5M FAT16 partition (/dev/hda1). This may be due to my own incompetence, as it's never worked for me. However, going to VT2, I find that there is no provision in the install to make a FAT16 filesystem. A clue? With SRM v5.8-1: Boots fine from the rescue floppy, installs fine (with the tasksel exception) and then the installed system won't boot. The kernel loads and starts, then gets an error -- "ID 1 is respawning too fast, disabling for 5 minutes." And that's that. I'm not sure that the size of the disk isn't the problem. I've sort of assumed that the x86 1023-cylinder-syndrome doesn't apply in AXP-land.
