Hi there! I have an ABIT BH6, Creative TNT2U, Adaptec 2940UW and a Promise U66 installed. /boot = hda1, /home = hda4, / = hde3, /usr = sda3 ML 7.0 installed fine, when I entered "linux ide2=0xd000,0xd400" in the beginning of the install. When I upgraded to 7.1 (tried to, that is) I got the following problem with both upgrade and clean install: The first time it boots after installation (and last), it says: ... /sbin/mingetty: /sbin/mingetty: cannot execute binary file. ... (more of the same) INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes /sbin/mingetty: /sbin/mingetty: cannot execute binary file. ... (same) INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes /sbin/mingetty: /sbin/mingetty: cannot execute binary file. ... (same) INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes /sbin/mingetty: /sbin/mingetty: cannot execute binary file. ... (same) INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes /sbin/mingetty: /sbin/mingetty: cannot execute binary file. ... (same) INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes /sbin/mingetty: /sbin/mingetty: cannot execute binary file. ... (same) INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: No more processes left in this runlevel ... and stops (for more than 5 minutes). Then I press ctrl-alt-del and it says: INIT: switching to runlevel: 6 /etc/rc.d/rc: /etc/rc.d/rc: cannot execute binary file ...and halts for good. I tried again and installed without any mount points on hde. Everything went ok. Boots fine. So, it must be with the support of the Promise U66. What on earth is happening? Stratos
