This is a known issue which we will try to document in the installation manual. It is unlikely that the splash screen will be changed though. > GRUB: incorrect disk order.

This is a very annoying problem for which we don't really have a solution yet. We will probably need to add some kind of disk/partition selection dialog to deal with this as detecting from which controller/disk a system boots looks not really possible. Reassigning this report to grub-installer for this issue. > After reboot: serverworks.o IDE module not loaded. /etc/modules > contained only "ide-cd ide-detect ide-disk psmouse", and system was > using some generic driver to talk to hda and hdb -- no DMA transfers, > slooow.

Ideally that module should be included in your initrd, not loaded from /ect/modules. You can create an initrd containing the module by including it in /etc/mkinitrd/modules. You could also try debugging mkinitrd yourself to see why it fails to include that module and file a bugreport against initrd-tools. > There is no psmouse.o kernel module; its presence in /etc/modules > causes harmless error messages during boot. Right, that module is compiled into the kernel for 2.4 kernels. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
