- I get the strong impression that a fair number of people are having problems
- of this nature. I get the same message when I try to boot off of a disk with
- 0.99 installed on it. (I'm using 0.98p5 right now.) What is going on? Has
- anyone encountered this and solved it?
-
- Please post rather than mail since this seems to be a common problem right
- now.
-
- Thanks in advance for any help -- I'd love to get 0.99 running before I have
- to leave for vacation!
