( sorry for double mail )
It hangs like in september, that's why I thought it still uses the old
installer, because RC2 solved my problem back then.
The old report of mine is here :

Full text :
I tried sarge weekly from 20040925 on my athlon (K-7) and it
fails on first boot with last lines :
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
I used all the deafult options in installer, except location: Slovenia,
keyboard: slovene.
Does this build work at all for others ?
-- end ---
Google tells me some other people also see this error (not necessarily
with the same setup as me).
So, any suggestions ?
Sincerely,
David
