Hey guys,

So I completed my testing and it went great. I had the ISO image of the distro written to a spare HD, installed to a test partition and everything worked out beautifully. So then I decided to write the ISO to a blank DVD and guess what..."Still waiting for root device" I'm confident that it is a problem with insufficient SATA drivers because the DVD drive I installed from is SATA. I will consult with bhast2 later today and see what he can do about the matter. It should be a relatively minor problem because the installer boots fine from hard drive.

P.S. And I hate to wreck the hope of some people for a fast release, but this beta will go only to a select number of people. I can't afford to lose time on a messed up release or on a public beta. After that I will do another beta (again to a select number of testers) after the Voodoo 9.5 kernel is released so that it will feature 10.5.5. After that THEN I will do a public release. I know some are probably groaning right now but its for the better. I don't like to let things lose without a proper testing.
