All the issues I reported in beta2 and beta3 are resolved. (I've already closed the older installation reports.) The only problem was that my Windows XP partition was not detected. I had manually partitioned using fdisk from a recovery disk before installing because I was doing various other drive rearrangement. At the time I booted, I had the factory master boot record (which just boots from the "active" partition), and /dev/hda2 was already marked bootable but did not have a valid file system on it. (In other words, my machine was not a state where it could be booted without a floppy or CD.) Windows XP was fully operational, however and could be booted manually from the grub prompt (rootnoverify (hd0,2), chainloader +1). For what it's worth, my XP partition was installed from a Norton Ghost 2003 image of the original factory installed image from HP. It's running on NTFS. Since I almost never boot into XP, it's pretty vanilla. On my desktop work system with Windows 2000 Pro on a VFAT partition and RedHat 9 on an extended partition, d-i b4 was able to detect both operating systems and put correct entries in menu.lst. Also, it would be nice if debian-installer would have put a 686 kernel instead of a 386 kernel on my machine. This is particularly true on my desktop which has a P4 with hyperthreading and needs an smp kernel to take advantage of that fact. (I will send this comment in a separate wishlist bug report.) -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
