The system boots from the 5.2 CD without problems and the installation program comes up without problem. But after answering all of the prompts and confirming that I really do want to install to the disk I get the following errors: ERROR: Unable to write data to disk da0! Couldn't make filesystem properly. Aborting. And the install, logically enough, terminates. I have tried many ways with the installer's partitioning tool to lay out the disk. Using the A option of the disk tool to lay out the default file systems; deleting the efi partition that somehow always shows up and using the A option; creating my own partitions by hand; taking the disk to an IA64 Linux system and trying to write the partitions there. Please, if anyone has any ideas how to get around this I would surely appreciate your assistance.

After the Protective MBR has been written to the disk (this should be verifiable) the function bogusly returns a non-zero value which aborts the operation. Unfortunately there's no work-around for it, other than of course to pre-partition the disk. I have a fix in the pipeline, but it also means I have to build a new snapshot and I really want to test it first :-) This is typically a bug that you normally catch by testing the BETAs and release candidates (RCs). I didn't get any reports and I didn't had a chance to test it myself (I didn't had a spare disk that I could clobber). CALL TO ARMS: to avoid this in the future, we need people who can and will test the BETAs and RCs. At a minimum it should be possible to do an install and end up with a (sufficiently) functioning OS. It doesn't take a lot of work to help out: keep an eye on announcements, download the corresponding ISO image, burn it to CD and perform an install. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
