Yes, that's the correct behaviour *cough* :-) > Does anyone have any pointers or how-tos? I've searched the webpages, but > some of the vital sections are still missing :-) Our 5.0-RELEASE does not support the HP machines because we have too much ISA (or should I say PC) specific code in our kernel that's based on all sorts of PC (or should I say ISA) specific assumptions. We hacked up a working version on our development branch of which I'm trying to make an ISO, but the release build has failed 3 times now. It was almost done the last time it failed (the program that makes the actual ISOs didn't get installed automaticly *sigh*) so I should have the ISOs on some mirror(s) in a couple of days.
