+<PRE>I've installed mga2 from Cauldron to Beta 3 (as well as mga1) on a
+handful of different boxes. Some have installed without problem, some
+required a bit of effort to get running (ATI/AMD video card issues), and
+at least one won't run at all. I've filed a few bug reports and the only
+show-stopper until now was fixed. The others are minor and I can work
+around them. Overall a very good performance for non-release software.
+
+My reason for posting is the laptop that won't run at all. I've spent
+hours and tried every trick I know, but even though it installs without
+errors I still can't get it to boot to anything except a rescue desktop.
+I've tried a clean install and an upgrade from mga1 and the results are
+the same. This laptop is important to me and at this point I'm very
+frustrated, but since mga1 and many other distros run on this hardware
+I'm determined to make it work.
+
+I don't really have a lot of clues to offer. After installation it goes
+through the boot sequence and fails with either a blank screen for the
+default ATI driver, or a multi-color pixelated screen with the vesa
+driver. I've never seen the vesa driver lock up before. At times I've
+managed to get to the command line and discovered that in addition the
+networking won't work, either wired or wireless. I'd gladly submit a bug
+report or comment on an existing one, but I don't know where to start on
+this one.
