I am trying to install Owl 2.0 now I have tried 1 & 1.1 etc. but it seems
like everything I do I cannot fdisk the hard drives.
let me start I have a Compaq DL380 PIII 700 Xeon 128mb RAM for now, two 18.2
GB HDD on a compaq integrated smart array looks like version 1.68
I have tried it set up Raid 0, Raid 1, all the different configurations. I
have updated the BIOS, the Smart start for Compaq, and followed everything
Compaq
said to install linux,and tried other OS's also trying to get one that will
accept Owl. Now I am getting an error on boot up (nothing installed except
compaqs controller software)
the error
"<0>Kernal Panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!"
"In idle task - not syncing"
then it just sets there.
other times I got it to boot from the CD then it won't do anything from
there no fdisk etc.
I can start "settle"

Yes - but in 32-bit mode.

We're likely to work on implementing native x86-64 support for Owl after
the 2.0 release.

No, it should just work.
