3.0 install woes
I took a 3.0 kernel #3 floppy and tried to install 3.0 on two systems and both failed: 1. System: PCB Motherboard , Amd 386/40, Cyrix FasMath (w/ or w/o) 8 MB, IDE IBM DHEA 38451 (16384/16/63) The most I could achieve was booting up into blue install screen mode but got hung during probing devices (only NE2000, VGA and IDE controller present, nothing fancy). 2. System ASUS P55T2P4, same HD, but also SCSI disks and a Syquest removable medium. P5/200, 128 MB, xl0 network device. Symptoms: at boot: prompt there is a long beep (for a second or so) finds xl0, SCSI disks but wdc0 and wdc1 are not found !. (although the HD is there in the BIOS) Comes up into install mode, but when choosing custom-partition there are No disks found. -- Chris Christoph P. U.

Re: 3.0 install woes
This sometimes can happen :( However, to avoid hungs - boot with -c option and in visual configure mode disable all devices which you doesn't have.

I should have mentioned that I did that already. The installation disk lets you enter into this mode anyway, so there is no need for the -c option or am I wrong?
