It’s not the hard drive that’s the problem. I haven’t even gotten to the installer, I’m still trying to run the installer on the flash drive that I flashed the install iso onto.

Sorry, somehow I posted this response to the wrong thread. Sorry for the confusion.

Just saw this! Rage 128 is very finicky with the current kernel drivers. In fact, I've gotten it working in BSD with a trial-and-error Xorg.conf file, but I haven't yet in Adelie.

You can try my Xorg.conf though - it might work! http://frogfind.com/files/bsd/xorg.conf

Ok I read through the log file xorg left when I used your xorg.conf file. It appears to have a problem relocating the file in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/r128drv.so with the error “symbol not found.” Is there something I can put in the config file to mitigate this or am I dead in the water?
