Subject:   Problems with 5.0-RC1

I installed 5.0-RC1 this morning on my IBM ThinkPad 600E. The problems
I see are the same as I saw on DP2.

1. PCcards are not seen. I get the message:
   pccard1: Card has no functions!
   cbb1: PC Card card activation failed

   This has been reported on other ThinkPads and is being addressed,
   but the lack of a network connection makes working on things rather
   difficult.

2. ACPI crashed the system. The same problem was reported earlier
   today by Paul A. Mayer <paul@fnug.net>. Hopefully it will be easer
   for him to get a crash dump than it is for me. Grr.

One thing is better. ACPI does seem to correctly report system
temperatures. This was NOT the case for DP2.

I also had the previously reported problems of garbage on the
sysinstall window while it was preparing the disks.

Finally, I get an odd message from sysinstall when I am ready to label
my disk:
=============================================
|           Disk slicing warning:           |
|Max one 'fat' allowed as child of 'whole'  |
|                                           |
|===================================(100%)==|
|                [ OK ]                     |
|=[Press F1 to read more about disk slices ]|

Huh? I have always had two FAT slices on my hard drive and have never
had any problems with it. (Both are primary partitions.)

I said "OK" and continued with no problems that I could see.
