	Hello all, 

	I am installing 2.2.6 on the system which before had 2.2.5 (not an
upgrade, plain new install). The system is a PII, 64RAM and an 8455MB IBM
(model DHEA 38461) EIDE hard disk. After everything is installed, I get
"Read error"
	I tried different options for the hard disk BIOS settings (LBA on,
off, different FPIO and PIO modes), as well as trying to install several
times with different disk layouts. I usually did 256M for SWAP, 500 for /,
2Gig for /usr, 2Gig for /usr/home, 2Gig for /usr/local and the rest for
/var mount point. Any clues on this matter would be helpful. The "Read
error" line is the 4th from the top if you do "strings boot.flp | more".
