I don't know when 3.0r3 will release and even if it does, it's not likely to have a newer kernel unless someone makes the effort to fix it. Can some debian-clueful person suggest where Donald can properly file a bug so debian-hppa can update it's kernel on the 3.0 installer? Right now, AFAIK, folks are beating on "sarge" installer since that wasn't even building not so long ago. sarge release may obsolete 3.0 completely and we are hoping to ship that with a 2.6 kernel that works fine on pa8700. My preference is don't mess with CDs and setup a dhcp/tftp boot server and follow the netinstall instructions. If that's not an option for you, then burning the newer netinstall ISO's would be the next step. grant
