Yes, I am wondering if the freeze does not finally come from the DEC controller, that gave me a lot of problems earlier. |>Before filing a bug report, i am calling for advice: |>do i miss something ?

Not sure if prep allows for command line | arguments when netbooting though, i can simply say : | | ok> boot net vmlinuz-chrp.initrd DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium bah, i have the prompt for the boot parameters on the serial console. As i am asking a lot of questions, is there a lot to disable the ide and ~ dec controller on the command line ? Thank you for all.
