Boot works from IDE CD, kernel module for Adaptec SCSI is chosen. Hard disk is SCSI. But installer fails to find the SCSI drive. I installed this same machine with RC1, then it worked. When I had USB memory plugged in, that was the only disk the partitioner offered for installing to. I removed all USB-stuff. Then installer complained it did not find any disk to install into. Next I tried removing all IDE Chipset Drivers. Same result, installer can not find any hard disk. Next I removed the CD and tried booting from the SCSI hard to make sure it has not disappeared. Boot works, and I got the lscpi info. So I failed to install this machine with pre-RC2. I also saw the known error of red background. The installer screen background was sometimes red. Seemed random, most of the times it was blue but I did get red twice. Even when it was red, some screens showed blue bagkground, but the next screen was again red. No logs, install did not proceed that far. Once you have filled out this report, mail it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
