1) Have now downloaded 6.1R again (didn´t have the iso´s left on hd). 2) Burnt them with both k3b and Nautilus. 3) Installed the "k3b" version. => Same story as before. 4) Installed the "nautilus" version. => Same story as before. k3b checks the md5 sum before writing. Before burning with k3b I ckecked it myself with md5sum and it was ok. This check was ofcource also done before I burnt the disks with nautilus. One thing I didn´t mention before though... When booting with 6.1R CD1, on the FreeBSD boot menu I can only choose SAFEMODE. If I choose another (preferable the default) I get this output: <snip> panic: pmap_mapdev: Couldn´t alloc kernel virtual memory. Uptime 1s Press a key to reboot <snip> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I GIVE UP! 6.2beta3 does work, I´ll wait until the "full" version of 6.2 is out...
