Install on Dell GX270/280/ older hardware

Hello,

I've tried to install both the 0.3.15 as well as the latest snapshot version of
ReactOS on a few 
different machines here.  I've got all the way through the installer, to the main
bootup, but I get 
either a BSOD or it just locks.  Is there ACPI or other stuff that needs to be disabled
for this to 
work?  I'd really like to try this.  A pointer to a webpage with suggestions would be
fine.

Shouldn't you be posting these questions on the forums?

I applied to this mailing list to hear news about ReactOS not to hear you
guys ask technical questions back and forth.

And why do you believe that this mailing list is not suitable for such discussions?

I did not see any way to post on the forum, as it requires an account, and I cannot seem
to find 
where the signup link is.  If there is a better place for this, please direct me to it.

ReactOS' site uses a unified login for the forum, wiki, and site proper. If you want
to register for an account, you need to do so from the main page.

Also, there is nothing wrong with asking such questions on the mailing list.

Create account: http://www.reactos.org/user/register
Forums: http://www.reactos.org/forum/

General is usually where discussion of this type goes on.

In my opinion this email list goes out to a lot of people and it often
turns into spam if lots of people reply.

Thanks, I have signed up.  However, there must be others like me who have faced the same
issue, and 
would benefit by the answer in the archives. :-)  So does anyone have a suggestion or a
link for a 
doc on how to address this?  Thanks, and sorry if anyone has considered this spam.

Weird, I thought this list was for general ROS discussion, not just news.

Hi,

unfortunately, you have applied to the wrong mailing-list then. The
mailing list dedicated to news is: ros-announce.
ros-general is a mailing-list open to any discussion about ReactOS.

If you need more info about the publicly available mailing-lists, I
recommend you read: http://reactos.org/community/mailing-lists

With my best regards,
