Could you please attach the crash output? I regularly test on a box which is legacy-free and has no floppy controller and have not experienced any problems so having the output would be handy. I did want to attach crash output - but since I had no floppy I had nowhere to save it to! I couldn't find a way to dump it to disk either - would have been handy being able to choose a path to save it to. I have to reinstall the same box today anyway - so assuming I get the same crash I'll copy down the report by hand and forward it on to you. have not been able to reinstall, and hence replicate this crash - my media is randomly (mostly) coming up as faulty when checksummed at the start of the install process - fairly unpredictable - suspect media issues causing failed installs and crashes. will test further later when more time. thanks! |
