We have an almost new Acer 5520-5679 in the office that we intended to partition and install 8.0-CURRENT-200712-amd64 but much to my surprise accessing the cdrom it went into an immediate, unreadable loop of hex numbers that can only be stoped by powering down. I next tried 7.0BETA-4 standard (no amd64) and I can get to the Welcome menu but with all options end up with a BTX halted, almost immediately. The machine specs are: AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile TL-58 1.9 Ghz 2x512K Lw cache 2GB DDR2 160G HDD Has anyone else seen this with Turion 64x2 or is it an Acer thing. We should learn that cheap is often expensive. Thanks, ed
