GeForce 2 install bug found

Im trying to confirm this but so far it seems when whistler tries to install GeForce 2 chipset cards during setup it will freeze the computer. It has done this with 2419 and now 2428. If you have had either of these builds install correctly with a Geforce 2 card please post here so this bug can be proven or disproven.

My experience was that when it got to installing the devices and it went to configure the vid card it halted the setup. I changed to a TNT and the setup process proceeded without any problem.

I have not had that problem either. I have installed 2250, 2272, 2276, 2296, and 2428. Every time I have installed or upgraded it has worked perfectly.
