I am trying to install 8.01 from CD as an upgrade to my 7.2.1 system.
But I have severe problems with that. Darwin 7.2.1 was no problem,
all hard drives were detected.
But Darwin 8.01 won't boot at all (waiting for root device). After
disabling ACPI the boot continues but I can not select a drive for
installation. It just hangs before that.
I thought I could boot into my Darwin 7.2.1 system, chroot to the
Darwin 8.01 CD and start the installation with /etc/rc.cdrom, but
chroot gives me an "unsupported" error (I have the exact error
message not at hand right now..).
What can I do to install Darwin 8.01?
Specifying root devices and disabling ACPI did not help so far....
Probably this is the following well known problem ... the 8.01
distribution was unfortunately compiled with SSE2 instructions
enabled, which means you can not run it (nor future distributions)
on hardware with e.g. an AMD Athlon or Athlon-XP processor.

Which means it will not run with my Pentium3 system either. Thats
totally disappointing.
Will there be a release without SEE2??
