Hi,

Just put OpenDarwin 7.2.1 on a PC when I discovered that the x86 HCL  
seems to have disappeared - is it still available in some hidden  
location?  If not (or even if it is, I suppose ;-)) I've tried  
booting with:

Gigabyte GA-7DXE mobo
Athlon XP 2000+ (has SSE, I don't think it's SSE2 so didn't try  
Darwin 8)
DEC 21041 PCI NIC
InnoVision Tornado TNT2M64 AGP graphics (I have to admit to having no  
idea what this is, but the BIOS claims it's NVidia-based)

and found that it doesn't pick up the root device automatically  
(looks like a known issue from the install notes), but that I can't  
set the root device because it doesn't acknowledge the USB keyboard  
(although it can be used at the BIOS).  I'll try to borrow a PS/2  
keyboard and see if I can get any further...

Cheers,

Graham.

P.S. Where does one file a bug against the website?  The server is  
sending "content-type: text/plain" for the *.iso.bz2 but the closest  
bugzilla category I could find was Doc, which didn't seem appropriate.
