Hmmm, my K7S5A doesn't like 4.4 - it boots the install CD and installs, but then won't boot off the HD (IDE). 4.2 installed and boots off the HD just fine :-|. I don't have a copy of the failure report, but from memory it died just after starting the daemons, and reported a signal 12. I had trouble with the 4.5RC1 miniboot cd on the K7S5A too, but I think I got a bad download as I couldn't boot it on my Abit BP6 box (which someone else reported as working), or mount the ISO image via vn on it (the BP6, which is currently running 4.2R) - "cd9660: illegal argument" or some such. Apologies for the lack of real information in this followup - I hadn't followed through on this earlier because the K7S5A box normally runs OS/2 so getting 4.4 installed on it wasn't high priority. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
