Description Kjartan Maraas 2001-02-19 14:37:11 UTC

I just tried installing on a Compaq ProLiant DL360 which has a Win2K
installation on it from earlier. I installed on partitions after the W2K
partition which itself is 3+ GB. So I created a 30 MB boot partition, a
1200 MB swap partition and left the rest ~5.5 GB to /. Formatting seemed
to go ok, and I had no other problems thus far.

When I pressed next on the final screen before copying the packages I got
the following kernel BUG:

Tried installing Wolverine on this machine today. Got a message saying "No valid
devices to install on" or something similar. The install died and the machine
rebooted.

Tried installing with qa0309 iso today and it works. Haven't booted the server 
yet, but it formatted the partitions and started installing package just fine.
