StoneC0ld Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 First..... The system specs: Intel P4 3.2GHz w/ hyperthreading ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard 1GB Kingston DDR400 PC3200 RAM (2x512) ASUS Radeon 9800XT video card 256MB SB Audigy 2 Plextor DVD writer Mitsumi CD-RW 80GB Maxtor hdd P-ATA as primary master 250GB Maxtor hdd S-ATA as 4th master blah blah blah, rest probably not important.. :) MDK 9.1 worked fine on my old P3 800MHz, but ran into the problem when I moved the 40GB drive (temporarily) into this new PC... (without reinstalling the linux), I could get it to boot with the -nonfb option, but if I chose the regular linux option from lilo, the screen would just go blank and the system would crash before the kernel even loaded.... Finally got the 250GB drive, reorganized my partitions, and made room on the 80GB drive for linux, so I could put the 40GB drive back in the old computer... Same problem with the installer. Any graphical installer option, I'd get the first 2 "loading" lines you see in textmode (after using F1 for the textmode help screen), the screen goes blank and the system crashes. Text installer does work, but I find it a bit awkward, and I just don't have the patience or knowledge of each package to go through the package list and select my packages without any form of description because the textmode installer doesn't provide any description. So, I would pretty much say that I need the graphical installer.... Is there any commandline options I can give on the regular "linux" graphical installer to make it work on my system, which I intend to dualboot with WinXP? Will 9.2 fix this? Help would be much appreciated. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
