It is better than 2.0-SNAP which would completely mess up the 3c509B board. Three problems I had: (1) Installation will not always detect the 3c509B (ep0). To get ep0 show up in FTP installation menu, I have to reboot a few times. (2) XFconfig is not found during after installation configuration. (3) The wd is partitioned as wd0s1, wd0s2, and wds03. However, during the reboot (after installation), system seems to use wd0a for /. and says that fsck: /dev/wd0s3e, no sunch file or directory. So, /usr cannot be mounted, and everything failed. Please help if any one has experience on OPTi chipset motherboard. -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
