Not enumerating the JTAG chain sounds like a serious issue. Are all 
your BSD files in the right place?

Hopefully you didn't blow away your previous install. Does Impact from 
that version still work?

FWIW, I installed the Linux version of 9.2 and it seems fine. I don't 
use the downloader on Linux though (notoriously bad USB drivers) - 
instead I send the bitstream over to my WinXP box and use Impact and/or 
Chipscope there. Still on 8.2 under Windows though, so that's no help.

Overall it sounds like a bad install. I thought zipfiles had checksums 
in them to bail on corrupt files though, so I'm curious how that's 
possible.
