My report on this problem for beta4 is on the web here: <http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/beta4/upgrade_beta3-beta4/mkinitrd_failure/> With all debugging data from installer (logs, report_bug file and others) here: <http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/beta4/upgrade_beta3-beta4/> Screenshot made in installer with the F2 key: <http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/beta4/upgrade_beta3-beta4/mkinitrd_failure/9.png> Is this the same error messagebox that you see? My report covering this error in RC1: <http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/rc1/upgrade_beta4-rc1/attempt2/info.html> Also, another bug from beta4 that still isn't fixed in RC1 is the bug with enabling TV-OUT on ATI All-In-Wonder 128 video card, described here for RC1: <http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/rc1/upgrade_beta4-rc1/attempt2/info.html> and here for beta4: <http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/beta4/upgrade_beta3-beta4/xfconfig_failure2/> BTW, my question to Mandrake team: guys, are you planning to work on this one? Especially the mkinitrd bug, which is biting many people, it has to be fixed for 9.0 final... The TV-OUT on ATI card isn't that important, but it would be nice it it were fixed for final too. I can do more testing and provide all the debugging info you ask if you need. -- Olo GG#: 274614 ICQ UIN: 19780575 http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl
