Initial Boot 

The system successfully booted from the installation medium.

 Network Interface Card: 3Com 18 Fast Etherlink XL

Using the DHCP client, connectivity was established on the LAN.

 Disk Controller: SCSI Adaptec 2940U2W

The controller allowed effective communication with peripheral hardware.

 Engineer's Comments 

The sound card (C54232) was correctly identified and configured with the following settings: 10 = OX534 irq=s dma = 1 dmaze = 0

 System Partitioning 

The fdisk successfully created the system partition.

 System Installation 

The kernel was successfully copied to the hard disk and made bootable; all essential packages were installed (see the comments under the Video Adapter section, below).

 Video Adapter: Diamond Fire GL1 with 8MB

The video adapter was correctly identified as being supported by XFree86. Do not configure X during install. While installing Caldera 2.2, skip past X configuration WITHOUT configuring it. After everything is installed, the system will reboot into the new Linux system. The default run level is 15 x based. This will cause all output from the video card to cease. At this point, you need to report into single-usgmode: Press ctrl+alt+f2 to go to a virtual terminal (you will still not be able to see anything) and press ctrl+alt+del to reboot the system. When the system resets, you will get your video back at the iboot: prompt, type linux single to get into single-usg mode. Once you are logged in as root, remount the root partitions as rw as follows:   mount - 0 remount, rw 1 row mount the cdrom (be sure it is in the drive) mount 1 unit/cdrom now install the correct x server rpm - i -- force 1mnt/cdrom/col/install/RPMS/XFree 86-3DLabs - 3.3.3.1- 3.1386.rpm and vvm xf86config to set up x correctly. Now reboot, and all is well.
