I did try it under 2.1.5 on a two disk ide system, trying to install it on the second drive (wd1). I couldn't get it to work, i.e. it couldn't find it's root partition after booting the kernel. John is trying it under 2.1.7 and trying to install on the Jazz drive which is his second drive (I haven't asked him for the scsi ids he's using.) He appears to be having the same problem. :( Joe. -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc. [Tel: +44 1273 607072 Fax: +44 1273 607073]
