Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Reboot: [E] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Partition making thingy makes a i (part 9) partition that starts at some large number and ends at 0 (yes, this is back to front) Because of the above-mentioned partition aboot fails to get installed because partition 9 conflicts where aboot needs to go, you cannot use -f9 flag because it says you can only have 8 partitions. Manually removing partition 'i' makes aboot installer happy. (fdisk commands, d i w x ) Rebooting, it still tries to reboot off cdrom (dqb0) instead of drive (dqa0). Hit reset button to fix this. Booting with kernel that is installed initially results in massive number of pci errors, just like before. However this problem is not present when booting from CDROM. I am unsure why it happens only when rebooted. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
