We just acquired a used Proliant 2500 server (Pentium Pro w/2 scsi drives & 256MB of ram, DVD/CDROM & scsi tape drive). I have spent the better part of the day trying to install 9.0 on this machine and have experienced the following problems: When trying to boot from CD 1 it hangs at "RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0" (also the 8.2 CD 1) When booting from CD 2 it boots all the way, but when I try to start the installation the ATAPE CDROM won't mount. This also happens when I try booting from a floppy. I can boot from the 8.2 CD 2 and the CDROM mounts OK but YAST doesn't load because there's not enough memory. When I run memtest it shows only 16MB of RAM (no errors), but the bios shows all 256MB. I've run the HP diagnostic utility and it also shows all the memory, and the tests it runs don't show any errors. (None of the other HP hardware tests show any errors either.) Sorry for the multiple questions, but I'm really frustrated--especially by the memory problem. I've moved all of the DIMMS around, but that's all I could think of to try. Thanks in advance for any suggestions anybody might have. George -- "Some mornings it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps." Emo Philips
