[cobalt-users] OS 3.0 Update Nightmare

["David Hall" <dhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I have tried installing the OS 3 update 3 times
now, and each time it has crashed the server and required a hard reboot.
I tried installing it from the shell, GUI and a serial connection. No luck
You know Cobalt is reminding more and more of Microsoft with all
these patches, I bought this machine to make hosting set ups quicker and
simpler
but it has been just the opposite, it takes more time to admin these boxes
than a straight Linux box,
 I am not impressed and I think they let this box out the door too soon.
Here is what I got, any help would be appreciated.
