It doesn't sound like the tecra problem, though. The tecra problem (as I experienced it) is that the computer won't boot up at all. You start loading the linux kernel, and all of a sudden the computer reboots and starts again. Your problem sounds like a different one. Drew

Re: install on 505
Sorry- even more vague than I thought I was. Frankly, it was a couple of weeks ago, and only now has it become apparent that it was important, so my memory of the message is not perfect and I have not had time to replicate it. IIRC, it was a "cannot access device" error. Considering how screwy the 505's HW treatment is, this was not all that surprising, but the RH install accessed it repeatably without problems, and the same disc has been used many times, so I know it isn't the media.

Sorry- even more vague than I thought I was. Frankly, it was a couple of weeks ago, and only now has it become apparent that it was important, so my memory of the message is not perfect and I have not had time to replicate it. IIRC, it was a "cannot access device" error. Considering how screwy the 505's HW treatment is, this was not all that surprising, but the RH install accessed it repeatably without problems, and the same disc has been used many times, so I know it isn't the media.
