 It still fails when trying to install 5=2E3-Beta1=2C but I have seen two =
 new messages=2C something like =
 
 
 acpi=5Flink=3A empty IRQ=2E
 
 I will look up the exact message and post again=2E
 A few other PR=27s have given me an idea=2C I will try warm-booting with =
 windoze to see if it helps=2E=2E=2E=2E=2E=2E=2E =
 
 After much reading=2C I have come to suspect this is an acpi-related prob=
 lem=2C because it stops in the usb0=3A ohci line=2E I think fwohci is doi=
 ng something really nasty because it must be configured v=EDa acpi (as we=
 ll as the sound card)=2E
 fsckng MS =22open=22 standards=2E=2E=2E
 
 I really hope 5=2E3-R works=2C I don=27t want to wait until february 2005=
