Hi Sven, The only way I could start the installation is by using your kernel + initrd of 2.4.25 - from there it goes to network installation. I didn't try to hack it to install from the offical Woody CDs I got and I was quite happy that it installs at all.
If I remember well I think I got the choice between XFree86 v4 or V3 and I took v4. Just a few minutes ago I got into a procedure that mentined that V4.1 is broken and he returned back to v3.3.6. Seems that v4.2.1 is also so I think I'll follow him. "The installed Matrox MGA200 has problems with the XFree 4.1 mga driver. Black widgets may result. You may try XFree 4.1 with fbdev (horrible resolution and refresh). But it may be wiser to switch back to XFree 3.3.6 which is also on the distribution." http://www.math.tu-clausthal.de/~matsa/linux/rs6k/ Many thanks, Daniel --- Sven Luther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Mar 29, 2004 at 02:46:54PM -0800, Daniel > Narkis wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have a problem starting X on RS6K F50 box.
