I just installed 3.5 and noticed some weirdness. First off, the install
hangs after setting up my network cards. One is a cheap Realtek 8139
(rl0) and the other is a LinkSys LNE100TX (dc0). I've used the same cards
since 2.9 and have never had a problem. I ended up skipping the network
configuration and the installer finished fine. Any ideas?

After some configuration, I rebooted the system to let the changes take
effect. Usually, shutdown -r has no problem rebooting my computer. Now,
the system hangs after it says "syncing disks. done." I thought it might
be a fluke, but it happens every time. Any ideas on this one?

This is a plain old i386 3.5 install. Nothing fancy, nothing has changed
since 2.9.

Same for me with a LinkSys card (dc0),setting static ip. Used the upgrade
option from the installer after installing 3.4 which worked ok. But I
couldn't get a straight install to work. Tried the floppy35.fs and the
cd35.iso.Had no problems installing 3.4,and 3.5 is not giving me any problems
now that I have it running.

"shutdown -r now" works on my computer.

Yup, the installer hangs right after setting up dc0 with a static IP. rl0
with a static IP seemed to be okay. I was using floppy35.fs and doing a
straight install.

Not sure why it's not working for me then. I'll have to investigate
further.
