Subject: [9fans] cd boots but not installs
Date: Wed,  1 Mar 2006 23:35:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060301233555.203670a8.mattmobile@proweb.co.uk> (raw)

Hi,

I downlaoed the CD the other day

It will work happily if I boot from the CD (except I can't work out how to make it invoke aux/vga with -c)

But after installation I get a kernel panic when switching into VGA mode

I've no investigated copying the kernel from the CD to the installation in text mode

There's no networking (I'm hoping that the particular Realtek driver is just missing from the kernel).

Has the boot/install set-up fallen out of step ?

matt
