Video snapshots available, let me know. okay. if you have a chance, with the 9atom cd that boots to rio, can you try dd'ing from the /dev/sdE? you can just open a new window in the installer. ; ramfs ; dd -if /dev/sdE?/data -of /tmp -count 100 && dd -if /tmp -of /dev/sdE?/data -count 100 also the output of ; cat /dev/sdE?/ctl and ; pci and ; cat /dev/irqalloc would be helpful. - erik
