Well, I got it to boot. After some creative chrooting, I upgraded quik to 2.1-6 (the sarge version) and installed 2.4.18 (from woody). I also installed all the other kernels from woody and sarge. 2.6.8 from sarge booted, but panicked halfway through. 2.4.18 booted just fine though. In both cases, I needed to pass the video=ofonly option in OF. Now, after upgrading, I'll play around with some more kernels, and see if I can get it to boot on a semi-regular basis. --Jesse -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
