Hmmmm. } } i ran into this problem this morning. } tried to install a couple different distributions } (binaries and kernel sources, X-developer, minimal) } } the machine is a dell 486-50, smc ultra (8216?), adaptec } 1542CP (plug-n-pray disabled) } } used -cv at boot to remove all devices that are not needed. } moved ed0 to irq 3, i/o 0x300, mem 0xd4000 } (removed sio1--due to interrupt confict, same with mse0) } } this problem is new to 2.2-beta } i can do further testing tomorrow. } } while getting the distribution splits, the install would } return to the menu for selecting an ftp site. bizarre. } i was using wcarchive.cdrom.com. hitting , results } in a dialog about "reuse network settings?". hitting } again, results in the install continuing. } } my old memory seems to associate the problme with the doc } distribution....but i couldn't say for sure. } jmb I believe that this problem may do nothing with ed or ep interface. It seems to relate to the that motherboard. I had many different machines with same hardware environment except the motherboards. The same environment with Tyan P6 MB, Inter PT-2000, Inter endeavor-II are successfully installed with 2.2-BATE. I also have four different ASUS motherboards, I will try the other ASUS motherboards soon to see if the problem is related to ASUS motherboards. -Jin
