Did you tried with text only install, may be the problems are with your video card. And when a linux install is hard, always works well the text install choosing F2=text (FireGL 1,2 or 3 is not possible to use graphic mode) other options acpi=off acpi=oldboot acpi=force pci=noacpi Other reasons: bad positioned jumpers hardisk and cdrom as master (but cdrom in 2nd place in order) or you can use hd(x)=cdrom (x) is used for a,b,c and has the next mean a Master in 1st IDE controller b Slave in 1st IDE controller c Master in 2nd IDE controller Well everything is in Administration Manual On Friday 21 November 2003 00:14, Mike L wrote:
Hi All, Following my posting on 31 Oct the general list consensus was "duff CD", my supplier replaced the set without question, and I've added a 40G HD exclusively for Linux to the original spec given. Guess what :- The problem is exactly the same, installation gets as far as "starting yast" then the dreaded "RED BOX". As you can imagine I'm a bit ****** off to say the least.
ANY help appreciated, is there something in the BIOS I need to check ??, is Linux incompatible with the AMD 71X AGP Motherboard ??
