4.0 snapshot install problems

[Christoph Kukulies]

(440 BX AGP), PIII/350 (Celeron)

I have had problems today when I wanted to upgrade a system from 3.3 to
4.0-2208-snapshot.

Despite from my root partition was overflowing causing me
a lot of trouble in the first place subsequent installs
got hung at the point where devices were probed. last device
probed was ad0. Then it hung forever. (that was already under the sysinstall
interface).

Also during boot probing the ata0 PCI device I was observing the system
hanging for a long time (a minute or so). Then there was isa0 detected
and later pci-isa0 (or something flagged as already installed).

I've fallen back to 3.4 for the moment.

They've simply been renamed - it's no biggie.  I have some patches
in my inbox for adding the new acd devices, I just haven't gotten to
them yet since it's still easy enough to edit them in the "unknown"
category if one really needs to.

hot release I cannot install the system properly. After selecting an installati

then suddenly hangs up, so I have to press the reset key and reboot the machine
