It was running beta 3 but after a poweroutage I had to replace some damaged parts. etc. But now I get errors while trying to boot the install disc both from an sata drive but also the cdrom !warning setfeatures set transfer mode taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ! !Setfeatures enable Rcache taskqueue timeout ! ! setfeatures enable wcache taskqueue timeout ! ! Read_big retrying (x retry left) ! I have had the latter often on this machine but it always bumps into sysinstall sooner or later, but this time a whole night before locking up completely. removing the sata disk from the setup removes the second and third error. the machine is scsi mainly Any suggestions ? would using the usb install image work ?? kenneth
