So, first I spent hours figuring out that I have to pass noapic to the kernel or else my install won't even get past the first stage, then I need to chose the 'expert' install option because the generic install option does not recognize my USB mouse
Now, the installation will not recognize my second harddisk controller even thoguh I pass the ide2= and ide3= parameters (which recognized the drives in beta2, btw) so I can't install on my drive!
While I am able to install on my harddrive with the ide2/ide3= parameters on cooker snapshot 2, I get many more problems down the road that I haven't been able to overcome, including:
devfs lost all my drive information on reboot, and to reinstall with devfs=nomount to fix
network did not work
kde did not install even though it was selected during the installation
can someone help!
