I don't know how many of you have multiple machines to test 0.8.2 on to
see if it boots properly. I have posted in another thread about my four machines, and only one will boot 0.8.2.
---
All four will boot 0.6.2, so imagine my suprise when first 0.8.1.1 and now
0.8.2 won't boot on three of the four machines.
---
You might consider loaning your CD's to others to see what they have
in the way of boot/noboot. The point where DSL stops needs to be noted, as well as the particulars of the machine affected. Also, see if prior DSL's boot properly. In my case, 0.6.2 works on all boxes within reason (128+ MB RAM), but DSL 8x only runs on one,
a dual-processor machine.
---
I realize I am creating two threads here, but I saw what you all had going on, so I decided to pop-in and lay my cards on the table.
---
The booting problems are needing to be addressed, I just don't know what the problem with DSL 8x is, to cause such a percentage of very different machines not to boot, or not to boot fully.
