Finally managed to install 10.3a3. 1) System failed to boot. The problem of using /dev/sdxxx instead of hdX in /boot/grub/menu.lst I believe is already fixed for a4.
2) A /etc/grub.conf of setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,6) (hd0,6) isn't going to work as it doesn't install an MBR loader, so it's always a boot failure. What's needed is setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd0,6) At least the latter line makes is boot, the former hangs after "booting from local disk". Raid1 (/dev/mdX) for rootfs. Or is this a result of a failure caused by 1)? 3) The "list of installed drivers" (printer pppd files) is built after the printer can be configured during installation in the hardware config step. Does this constellation make sense? 4) During installation, I changed some monitor values (number of pixels, screen diagonal, Vrefresh) and tested afterwards. Worked fine. When the system goes to runlevel 5 after installation, the xorg.conf is way off the monitor and obviously running with who knows what. The configuring during installation was obviously pointless. Has someone seen this too? 5) Module ata_piix isn't good. It takes a huge amount of time during boot, showing timeouts and lowering DMA/PIO with each step. Not really useful. Setting that module as broken in the rescue system causes piix to be loaded instead; but then no /dev/sda* are created so it's useless.
