Since a clean cooker install doesn't work for me, I try first to install 8.2 then upgrade. I don't really want a minimal install (I want X to work at least) but I just wanted to report the bug with minimal 8.2 --> It crash in text mode.

For the clean cooker install, the problem seems to be in one of the script during the installation. When I reboot, there's no hdaxx inside the /dev/ so it can't be mount. I tried to make a "ln -s" to the /dev/ide/....../partxx but doesn't survive a reboot. Is it a devfs problem ?

The only problem to install gnome2 seems to be the sgml-common package. It is not recent enough four the taste of doc-dtd412, so scrollkeeper. So I got a /etc/xml/catalog missing or empty.
Icewm-light works well but I'm using fbdev.
