Install fails if you do not format partitions, even on a fresh (never successfully booted) install, apparently during ln of /target/usr/bin/awk. This failure cannot be successfully continued past. (i.e. to install kernel image) I have the choice of installing one out of 8 possible kernels. Should I choose a kernel that doesn't like my particular machine/setup, due in part to the above issue, a FULL reinstall is required to try a different kernel. Would it be possible to either allow installation of multiple kernels, or bypass the full install when only a different kernel is needed? Using df in a shell during install reports partitions as somewhat larger than the actual size: (df -h) -> 80Meg ext2 is reports used as 2292756.0T, and size as 136276.0T, this affects all fs, inc tmpfs. This may be a non-install problem, I have nopt yet successfully booted to test in 'normal' mode. The 2.6.8-1-smp kernel errors on the first boot, related to scsi symbols not loaded, then Machine checks and halts. I don't have specific info at the moment, but I'm guessing this is a kernel package issue more than an installer issue.
