The loop is a known bug (see debian-boot if you're interested). It will be fixed ASAP. For the X server, you may need a BusID in the devices section. Did you see a debconf message about that? Maybe just try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 I noticed there's a significant delay when that starts; be patient. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
