I just downloaded and burnded the mandrake 9.2 beta2 amd64 isos, and right after
the disk formating the message about getting the available packages the
installations hangs with a black screen with the upper and lower blue stripes
saying "Choose the packages to install"
I've tried installing in spanish and english, selecting default mouse or with
wheel, using existing partitions (made previously with knoppix) or manually
making partitions. I've tried change the DVD from primary master to slave to
secondary master,.. I'm using the text install, as as soon as I use a graphical
install, be it vgalo, vga16, vgahigh or whatever my monitor (CTX PV700B 17''
TFT) gets out of sync (It also happened with MDK 9.1 i386)
It's too fast for me to see anything clear and remember it, but looking at one
of the other virtual consoles, i managed to see something like "getting hdlist"
three times and then a series or package names followed by serveral lines saying:
Unknown package ...
and, if I saw it right, many of them where XFree....
then another set of package names appeared, followed by some more lines saying
Keeping some_package_names
After that another list of packages wich fills the screen and doesn't allow to
view any of the preceedign
I'm using a new dual opteron Tyan Transport GX28. (Based on Tyan S2880 Thunder
K8S board) It has no floppy, a SCSI HD and a provisionally installed IDE Sony DVD.
