Hi,

    I have only one  CD drive, Plextor CD burner,
    the video card is ATI 3D RAGEII+ PCI,
    a USB mouse and MS keyboard.

    This same machine could run the May release.

    For this release I tried first 3 VESA configuration
    in the AOS.PAR:

    Init="bb1741b8024fcd10b8014fb91701cd10268b4d28268b552a"


Init="b80b4fbb0000ba1a0166b90085af07cd1026c705c00626c74502580526c74504e00526
c745062a0426c74508010426c7450a040426c6450c042666894d0d26c74511581bb8024fbb1a
49cd10b8014fb91a01cd10268b4d28268b552a"

  Init="b8024fbb1a41cd10b8014fb91a01cd10268b4d28268b552a"

   None of them is working, the screen is black, no cursor.

    Thanks for your help.

    PhiHo.
