With the testing CD's it boots fine.Everything works ok there until I
try to find my NIC.
With every ISO I tried (bout 5) with bf-2.4 it starts to load the
kernel.The screen comes up and then I get an error about wrong magic
followed by the reiserfs superblocks it can't find.Next step is the
kernel panic.I never make it to any installation steps there at all.
I did create the reiser partitions with a 2.4.20 kernel but as you said
- partitions don't even get mounted where I get stuck.
Just to make sure I didn't screw up something with the ISO I burned a
gentoo install CD and that boots just fine and finds all the hardware.
Real strange!
