For the longest time I have been using Dell PC’s for Allstar and I have come across a particular model that I just can’t seem to install Allstar on it properly.

It is the Dell Vostro 260s.  Came in Windows 7. First tried ACID and it would install, but it would not boot up right away at times. It would give a looped message mpg123 something or another.. I forget what it said, but have heard others mention it as well.

So then I send to XIPAR and with the latest version, I can’t even install it. It hangs after it grabs the install image of the net.

Then after it wants to reboot I get “ The following error was found while parsing the kickstart configuration file.

The following problem occurred on line 27 of the kickstart  file :

The provided network interface eht0 does not exist.

That’s odd because earlier it was downloading just fine the image file. So what gives?

I looked at BIOS, turned off multi threading, even took it down to 1 core.

I am running out of ideas at this point. Anyone else come across this?? I did hear that Brian, KB3ORS has also had this issue occur.

Thanks is advance.
