Subject: Install Problems - please help!
Hi
I'm setting up a small Linux network for my school. I'm trying to install
SuSE 6.1 on the server - an old AST machine (P100, 32MB RAM) which has a new
hard disk (13.6GB). After upgrading the BIOS to the latest version, I booted
up from floppy and installed via CD. Installation goes fine until the system
is started and YaST attempts to run to configure everything. The YaST
'splash screen' comes up, but then the machine just sits there doing sod
all... I took a look at other consoles when this happened - on one of them
(forgotten which) there was a 3 line stack dump. How can I solve this
problem?
The disk is partitioned physically in this order:
hda1 /boot 20MB
hda4 swap 128MB
hda2 /home 5GB
hda3 / 8GB
Also, the system cant be started by LILO. LILO installs fine, but when the
machine is switched on, it cant find an OS and asks for a system disk... any
ideas?
Many Thanks,
<p>Andrew
