I am having several problems loading 6.1 on a Dell PE 850 w/an Adaptec 39160 scsi card and a single scsi drive. When I install from the boot only cd, I get the error "Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0. Do you want to retry again" and it won't go any further. When I install using the 6.1 disk one I get the error "Add of package linux_base-8-8.01-14 aborted, error code 1 - Please check the debug screen for info" and when the system boots I the kernel will not load. This happens weather I install the linux compatible module or not. However I can install 6.0 without a problem and it seems to run like a champ. Any ideas?

I'm specifically wondering about support for their base-configuration onboard NIC and their CERC SATA RAID controller. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
