Actually, I sent a problem report, but I figured there'd be ho harm in sending email to cover all bases. 2.1.7 RELEASE - can't completely install. The sysinstall provided with the boot floppy catches sig 11 (infinite loop?). Only installs so far, but sysinstall crashes. I don't think any problems with the OS itself, but sysinstall must have bugs. 2.2 GAMMA - hangs after the message "probing for devices on the ISA bus". Won't boot at all 3.0 CURRENT - boot floppy only boots when it wants to (hangs when "probing for devices on the ISA bus"). Otherwise, sysinstall works great. Also, can't properly start most daemons (moused, etc.) Also, when starting X, get message (X - can't open listening socket) and won't start. sony cdu531 probe - sony scd0 driver can't detect cdu531. My guess is that it isn't supported, and only cdu31a will work. I'll maybe try to modify cdu31 driver to work with this drive. I heard they're real similar, except for a couple of registers. Thanks Donn
