Re: Ultra 60
I have a pair of U60's fully decked out (dual 450MHz CPUs, 2GB memory and Elite3d video) and have installed Sarge and Etch at one time or another. At no time have I had any success getting them to start or run in graphical Xwindows mode. I have seen other threads here about installing a frame buffer package but the dependencies for that package conflict with existing packages already installed and replacing those is a far reaching effort. I gave up and installed Sol10 on one of them and left the other with Etch in text mode (it's a mail server now anyway so who cares).
For more info than I have search the archived messages for subject "X server fails to start after netinstall of Etch on Ultra 60"
If there is an easier way I would appreciate some insight.
Thanks
Daniel

I've encountered this message on a U60 and it is
almost always related to a CD writen 'too fast'.
It disappeared when I re-recorded the CD at 4x.
Also watch, when installing Debian 4.0, the graphic
card issue. If you have an Elite3D, the installation
can become a little tricky; the issue has been dealt
with a number of times in the past.
Good luck,
Joseph
