Hi Emilio,

Sorry, my fault: I upgraded from Dapper (not Breezy) to Edgy. And due to upgrade problems from Breezy to Dapper (propably my mistake) I did a clean install of Dapper.

What's also interesting: even the Edgy install-cd will not proceed beyond the initial screen on any of the install options. Maybe this gives a clue. I still assume that there's something wrong with the linux kernel 2.17 and SATA (via PROMISE TX2) eventually in combination with external USB drives.

I will wait for the next release (soon) and give it a fresh&clean try.

Anyway thanks for your reply,
Donald Brendel
