Well, actually 5.3 will (probably) be first "-STABLE" from the 5.X series, see the 5-ROADMAP article for more information. > 5.2-BETA installer crashes into DDB when it's about to start > extracting files from base/base.ag if softupdates is enabled > for the / filesystem. This also happens for me with the "official" 5.2-BETA image. Mine died at a different place in the extraction process, but the traceback seems to be the same. I just tried an install where I didn't enable softupdates on the root partition, it didn't panic but during the install it did give an locking warning/error. I will try to get a serial console on it to capture the exact error. --=20 Simon L.
