Has anyone tried the 0.96 discs on an IBM eserver 325? When I boot the install cdrom in mine, I get 1 or 2 (what look like) register dumps, yet the install continues. However, when it gets to screen about cdrom testing, my keyboard input seems to have no effect.
I could try to get detailed information, if anyone is interested.
This machine is a dual opteron with 6 gigs of ram, a scsi disk and a usb keyboard and mouse. I've had the mandrake alpha and some other fedora tests running, with varying levels of success. Stock 32 bit fedora 1 runs fine, ofcourse.

Nope -- couldn't even get past the first screen [the CD media check one]. It's odd, because I tried an earlier fedora 64 version back in mid Decemeber: it installed fine, and ran in UP mode fine, but would randomly crash in 2-CPU SMP mode. I think I sent an email way back then too...

I had the same problem on the eMachines laptop- solved by hooking up a USB keyboard. The problem seems to go away after the first media check screen. Still unsure why.
SuSE 9.0 has the same problem.

I picked up one of these laptops to use for testing, since I needed a new laptop anyway... It should arrive today, and I will see what I can do.

I see these laptops come with 512MB ram. Can you add more memory?

In theory, yes, bt these laptops have only one dimm slot, and that contains the existing memory... 1GB PC2700 SODIMMS are going for about $800 right now as far as I can tell :(

Well, this is with a USB keyboard (this 1U thing has no PS/2 connectors). Also, the errors seem to happen during some kind of USB loading on boot (it scrolls by very quickly), so maybe I don't even have keyboard functionality at the first screen.
[bottom and top posting in a thread... this is going to get confusing :)]
