I got a bunch of new Dell 9100 dual cores and had some fun trying to install 6.0 RC1 from CD. The systems have no legacy PS/2 keyboard support and only have USB keyboards. The RC1 install screen was unresponsive. I was able to set hint.atkbd.0.flags=1 in order to get it to not install the driver for the non-existent PS/2 keyboard, and then it used the USB keyboard and the rest of the install went fine. You might want to change this flag for the install disk (and not for the installed system, as I know, where say a rackmount may not have a keyboard installed). The rest of the install went pretty good, except I guess the dual-cores look like hyperthreading to the OS so they don't come up unless hyperthreading is enabled... Thanks for all the great work on the system, eerything else has been great... Mike H.
