This is probably a kernel issue, not a d-i one. Could you : 1) get the info in the dump statistics to us, if nothing else, by taking a digicam pic of it and posting it somewhere ? 2) try the sarge installer (which use kernel 2.6.8), and see if the problem is also present there. If not, please post the lspci output or /proc/pci content here. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
