Hi there, I have a problem installing 5.3-RC1 on a box with Asus A7V880 motherboard. The screen goes black after probing USB, and I can only see sysinstall (the reboot/continue/shell dialog) for a second after pressing ctrl-alt-del. I tried with and without acpi (beastie menu and bios settings), no difference. Same thing happens with 5.3-b7 CD2. There's one thing that might or might not be related: the graphics card is a PCI one. PCI/AGP primary output setting in bios doesn't make any difference. I haven't had much luck so far getting a working serial console (the text in the Handbook is outdated). Which floppy does boot.config belong now? Looks like it should be the boot floppy (as opposed to kern1 and kern2), right? -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html
