The 0708 netinst CD using the 2.6 kernel gave me the same symptoms
-- segfaults trying to discover disk hardware. I think discover1
is not playing well with the 2.6 kernel.
The 0708 netinst CD using the 2.4 kernel is feeling much better
thankyou! The only strange thing it's done (so far) is to try to
install quik on my OldWorld (beige G3) PowerMac. It's not
supposed to do that, is it?
Installation reports are being submitted with the details.
Enjoy!
Rick
