Whilst the DVD boots and I can traverse the menus (configure the disk, select the ports etc), the actual installation is failing with a "device not defined or unavailable" error. The system then reboots automatically. Booting the disc into the non-ACPI mode seems to get a bit further but then the installer gets to a stage where it appears unable to write data to the disk. Cheers, Tim. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
