Everything went pretty smoothly , till I was asked to remove a CPIO floppy and reboot from HDD. I saw the boot prompt, system started loading kernel text, data - and it went very quickly, but then stopped on symbols loading message ... Very weird : the bar which revolves when there is loading activity, was revolving for a moment, then stopped for few seconds and the same stuff again - in a loop. Ad finitum,but I only waited for few minutes. I reinstalled the system - but the same thing occured again :( So finally I decided to install old SNAP - 020295. And it worked out w/o any problems - I was able to run "bin" install thru ftp. Any clue ? Personally I think that latest SNAP ( 0412 ) have much more problems with ( at least ) installation phase, than one from February - looking at the letter we have here at questions@ and hackers@ PS the motherboard is Intel's , though the brand name of the PC itself is absolutely unknown to me.
