I have two hard drives, 18GB and 8GB. I have Win98 installed on the C 7GB partition as hda1 using FAT32 and , then I left the rest as another FAT32 drive that I run games from as E:. The other drive has a 2GB partition as D: that I place my files on to burn to my CDR, it also is FAT32. The remaining 6GB (+-) space was left un-partitioned. I then booted to the SuSE Linux 6.2 CD and partitioned the 6GB space into a Linux swap partition at 140MB and the remainder as my primary Linux partition, which is /dev/hdc3. I am using Loadlin to boot to SuSE. I reboot my system to the MS-DOS prompt and then execute "linux hdc3" and Linux begins to boot. The problem is the system always gets to a specific point in the boot process and then stops, here is what I get: {misc about my 3Com 3C905B-TX card} SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable failed route add default gw 207.218.25.1 Setting up route failed ... then here the system hangs and never comes back (well, I waited 10min and gave up). Anyone have any ideas what is happening here? Is there a problem because my other drives are FAT32? Is the problem with my Ethernet card? If I re-install, the OS goes on fine until I shut down and re-start again and then I get the same problem. I know there's nothing wrong with the OS provided on the CD because it installed on my Compaq Laptop just fine and is working well. Actually, I boot it every time by auto booting the CD and selecting to boot installed OS. When I try this with this PC, it says it can't find /dev/hdc3.
