Walnut Creek Tech support recommended that I send this 'bug' in. I tried to install 2.1 using my IDE CD drive an NEC-260. I booted the ATAPI boot floppy and the kernel properly identified all of my hardware, including the cdrom drive. The drive was cofigured as slave in the secondary port. In the setup program the drive was mounted and the install started. It was able to copy one file from the CD and then crashed the machine. I tried setting the drive as master and the same problem happened again. I install over the network, configured and compiled a new kernel with ATAPI support. The drive is identified at boot time properly and I am about to mount it. I have copied small text file from the CD a few times, but when I try to copy anything larger than a few Kb it jams the terminal I'm in. Hardware: GW2K p5-90 w/ 8meg 3 IDE disks + 1 IDE CD (the NEC 2X 260) 2 SMC ether card (DEC 21040 & 8013) 1 SB16 set to IRQ5 DMA1 ADDRESS:0x220 PS/2 mouse thanx (great os) jchabalk@udel.edu jchabalk@penc44.penc.udel.edu
