Is : this possible? So far, it always locked up very early in the installation, : Then when I change monitor/card to VGA it works fine. Are there flags that I : need to know about? Thnaks! I have run both 2.2.xxxxxx-SNAP and 2.1.0 RELEASE in i386DX40 box. They work fine now BUT there was some diffuculties with one of my Hercules cards. The system just hanged when trying to boot the system. I believe the problem has something to do with kernel trying to reset the video card. After changing the never Hercule card to an old (so old that is is actuyally a full lenght car :) hercules card, the system has worked fine since... //MiT
