I've tried Thomas's fixes on a number of occasions., - the floppy image allows installation., but post install, - still get Kernel panic. (Unable to edit lilo.conf once installation is complete).
Given that this issue appears to be fixed in the latest kernel., I'm happy to test it in latest cooker to confirm it works. Many thanks -Ivan. -----Original Message----- From: Buchan Milne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 June 2003 11:14 To: Ivan Tefalco Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] Promise PDC 20276 ********************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
