Hello, so I installed 9atom from a CD. I noticed there is an error message during copying files, see e.png. (Don't know what that is about or how important that is.) In any case, when I reboot after having installed the system, I once again end up with init: starting /bin/rc and that's about it (g.png) I played with various bios settings, but those I tried didn't help. What happens at that stage that can cause such a behaviour? > the usb image should work for you. it boots a 64-bit kernel or > 386/pae kernel. both will avoid the 8259 if possible, and the 64-bit > kernel doesn't even have support for one. > > - erik > Is there any chance the USB image might work better? If yes, I'll try it. Thanks for comments! Ruda
