It has a CD-rom drive and a CD-burner, the CD-ROM drive some acts a bit slow on mount, but should work just fine. The harddrive is connected to the first IDE channel and the CD-ROM/CD-Burner is connected is on the second on-board IDE channel as master/slave respectively. If both CD-burner and CD-ROM are connected i can only boot from the CD-Burner (slave) for some reason (bios?). If I disconnect the CD-ROM and boot from CD-Burner the result is the same as below, and the same goes for disconnecting the CD-Burner and boot from CD-ROM. My best guess to the error is the "Detect network hardware" step apparently choking over the on-board NVidia network chip It has Gentoo Linux installed with kernel version 2.4.20 (which works), which was used to fill in the above. It uses the NVidia proprietary network driver. I tried both RC2 and R3 with the same result: * I boot the install CD and get past language/keyboard selection and to the screen "Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM". This screens for about 2 minuts with the "ide-detect". * After stalling it goes on and ends up crashing a few screens later (after "Scanning cd-rom", "Loading components of the installer" and "Detecting network hardware" i believe) with the "caps lock" and "scroll lock" keys blinking. -- Regards Martin Leopold.
