Finally - a breakthrough !! ;-) The 2.4 kernel, even with all of the settings in BootX which work with my own kernel, will not boot my 8500. After I select that kernel image, it doesn't matter what setting, or if I use the matching ramdisk or not, but all I get is a black sreen + no system activity. I can't say that I tried every single iteration of options (though it felt like I came close :), but nothing seemed to work for me. The 2.6 kernel and ramdisk though, seemed to work perfectly, at least up till the part where I had to partition the system disks. I did have a little trouble getting the udebs from the mirrors but I think my ISP network is more the cause of that. However, since I wasn't actually ready to install to this system yet, I did not proceed past that point. Thanks again Sven. The 2.6 based installer seemed to find all of my hardware, so I don't foresee any major issues. However, when I do a backup of what I currently need on my existing installation, I will do a complete re-install, and I can post back here the results. That will not be till this weekend, most likely. Thanx vinai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
