Hello all,

An update on my 720/50. I've managed to get the install as far as
downloading all the packages. But when it starts extracting the first
package, base-files, it hangs. This is on 2.4.9-pa39.

Aside, when installing it seems one should create the palo
partition, create and initialise the swap partition, create and
initialise the ext2 partition. Now optionally set up the hostname and
networking, and then move directly to the installation of the base
system. This got me as far as getting all the packages downloaded, as
mentioned above.

I've booted a fresh nfsroot again, and as John Marvin mentioned a few
days ago, ls still hangs randomly, although it doesn't seem to depend on
the directory. On a previous boot I managed a ls -lR /, but now a simple
ls / hangs the system.

Any suggestions on how I proceed from here? What is still missing from
the kernel and what can I do to help fix it? :-)

Regards,

Albert
