Don't know if it works on a X5000 but the sam460 could not boot on pci-e.

yes ram was my first thougt when i first got it so i sent it back and got a replacement ram so that possibillity was ruled out.
will try with a couple of different hard drives now to se if the problem remains.

so now i have tried installing with the hd4650 card and it was a success :)
seems you where right that it was the hd7750 card that was failing to show the console.
unfortunatly i was also right that something more is wrong with my hardware i have successfully installed xinit and fluxbox with ...

okey i will try and install with the hd4650 card.

could it be a problem with my sii card ? its the one with 2 sata ports not 4.
is it possible to make a usb boot ...
