Hi! I found the reason of a serious boot problem I reported yesterday. On some Pentium machines (as far as I know Panasonic AL-N1, and Rios Chandler), i586_copyout and i586_copyin does not work and they causes system hangup before starting sysinstall. This problem can be avoided by specifying "flags npx0 0x07" from UserConfig CLI mode. This is very serious problem because users of these machines can't see the menu screen of boot.flp. If it's in time, please add a note about this problem in INSTALL.TXT or HARDWARE.TXT. Thanks! -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi E-mail: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp WWW homepage: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html Department of Computer Science, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan
