Yes, this is known. See also #228960. You can get round this, but you need the very latest installer, but you'll hit problems further down the install process. You might be interested in looking at http://tinyurl.com/2egza which documents my experience with exactly the same machine, and the workarounds I made to get a bit further before giving up. I got to the end of 2.6, but the system was not bootable due to GRUB/LILO problems, for which bug reports exist or were submitted. The same document has pointers to the latest installer in section 1.2.2. I'll update it in a couple of weeks when 'beta3' comes along :-) Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
