I'm not sure what is going wrong here. I'd recommend trying both the linux and linux-2.2.1 kernels. If all else fails you could try booting from the network and then use the CD. I trust that nobody has made images since my 2.1_r0 images, whose MD5SUMS are: c0e14b51cb21004871b5a3b23ad71918 binary-sparc-1.iso b5d3e661c38ca54bd57058449808b7e7 binary-sparc-2.iso Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]
