so could be your Nvidia GE218. The Nvidia driver shipped with OI_148
certainly crashes with my GE220. However the live CD loads OK with the

I'm back at this - problem with pool_rpool continues. I get nothing

In the scenario of my previous post, if I do

Since last October I've had OI 147/148 running on a new home PC. A while ago I
attempted to mirror it. All seemed good though I didn't fully check that the
mirror booted (silly me etc. - this is a home PC). Then the worst happened and
