Thanks Norberto:
    I don't have a USB card but I will pull the G3 card and see if it 
boots and go from there.

  <pre wrap="">Something to try, just to see if it will boot, remove the USB card
and the Sonnet G3 card.  There was a thread a while back that
diagnosed a problem with G3 cards and YDL.  It was solved by
installing YDL without any peripheral cards, then once it booted
etc...  Reinstall the cards and deal with them one at a time.

I have installed 3.0.1 using the old world instructions with no
problems,
got to the finishing stages and chose generic (default) vid and
then my
exact monitor, restarted the system and at boot X as instructed
unchecked th
e disc image, changed from the boot kernel to the other and put in
hda 8 as
instructed for the root device. The problem is now when I try to
boot into
linux I get about half way through the first page of boot script
and
everything locks up, the last commands on the screen are as follows
if
helpful:
WMU: mapin
WMU: mapin_ram done
WMU: setio
WMU: exit
setup-arch: enter
setup-arch: bootmem
arch: exit
and at this point it locks up solid with no cursor or anything. I
have tried
to re-install once and got error messages about vgscan failed and
ended up
having to delete the swap and main partions and start all over but
with the
same results. I am no IT guy so I'm trying to provide as much info
as I can,
if anything else would be helpful I will try to provide it but my
Linux
experience is very nominal. Thanks
