Is the Fast Wide controller on the 735 supported yet? I attempted to 
install .9 and it seemed to find a controller, and error out then it 
did not find any of my drives .. (I did have a CDROM and a 1GB drive 
on the narrow controller, but I have 10GB that I'd like to use also 
heh)

For 0.9 we had different ISOs for 32 bit STI console and 32 bit
serial console.  It sounds as though you might have booted
the STI ISO, but used a serial console.  You get the login prompt
on the serial console, because that is where inittab starts a
getty.  Sounds like kernel printk output is displayed on the STI
console, sugests you are using the STI kernel.  Not sure about
this though...  Check the kernel boot params; do you have
console=tty0 or console=ttyS0?

You can try the 0.9.1 CD from http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr which should
auto-detect which console you used and route messages appropriately.

i've install FROM serial iso BUT i've installed the sti kernel 
and i've paramater console=tty0 ;( 
i've made both serial and sti start from inittab ....
the sti console seem to work but the only think is i don't get login prompt
on sti.
but when i shutdown system message appears on sti console !

i've try 0.9.1 but it failed after "branching kernel" despite a good md5sum 
...
