RE: [TCLUG:22854] Installation problem

["Sielaff, Bruce" <Bruce.Sielaff@iMcKesson.com>]

The last install attempt trashed my file system.  I will have to try another
install as soon as I have a chance and send the contents of dmesg if I can
get far enough in the install to access it.

Lets see the dmesg. You probably need a "mem=80M" on the kernel command
line for one thing, since Linux isn't very good at detecting on machines
with more than 64M for some reason. :P
