The boot disk looks very polished. However, : when I tried to prepare my disk (Quantum 4 gig) with a new file system, : the system chokes, a "kernel panic" and my system restarts. What is your kernel panic message? Is it an integer problem? If so, this is PROBABLY because your system isn't seeing the right parameters for your SCSI disk and one of the entries has a 0 in it. IF this is the case, what I did was fired up DOS and used the SCSI card utilities to delete the partions on the SCSI drive giving me problems. Then, during install, make sure you have reasonable parameters entered in. BTW, I had to reinstall 2.0.5 and had this problem and posted both here and on the mailing list and got ZILCH back!! Mark
