OK I seem to have been a bit hasty here. When installing this snapshot (5.0-20000920-CURRENT) the installation gets stuck when writing out /uncompressing the distributions. I intially thoght the disk had disappeard, but I had forgoten the Emergency Holograffic Shell chroots itself at some point into /mnt, so I was in fact looking at /mnt/mnt. However having tried to install this snaphot again I found that it got stuck earlier (during the bin distribution). Looking around in the EHS I could touch files in / (I presume chrooted into mnt, ie the RAID) Sadly ps hung so I don't know what sysinstall was waiting on. This could be unrelated to the controller so I will see if I can try another snapshot that also predates the commits from Scott. > > I'm going to try a -current install on one tomorrow to see what happens; > unfortunately I only have the old reference adapter, not a "real" > embedded aac so I don't know what might happen. > > Scott - any luck with Brian? > -- > ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his > rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
