We have an almost new Acer 5520-5679 in the office that we intended to partition and install 8.0-CURRENT-200712-amd64 but much to my surprise accessing the cdrom it went into an immediate, unreadable loop of hex numbers that can only be stoped by powering down. I next tried 7.0BETA-4 standard (no amd64) and I can get to the Welcome menu but with all options end up with a BTX halted, almost immediately. The machine specs are: AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile TL-58 1.9 Ghz 2x512K Lw cache 2GB DDR2 160G HDD Short update. I built a release locally with yesterdays sources 7.0-BETA4 with the same problem. Has anyone else seen this with Turion 64x2 or is it an Acer thing. We should learn that cheap is often expensive.
