Zuke Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Ok I just don’t get it. I have just acquired the new mandrake 10 isos and might I say I was quite exited. I uses to use Linux all the time but since I have built my new computer I haven’t been able to get Linux to run on it. I first tried to run mandrake Linux 9.1 but when I tried to boot it I got a kernel panic. Well then I tried 9.2 and behold it worked! I was able to fully install it on my computer but it was very unstable and refused to work with any of my hardware no matter what I did so alas I was crushed. Now I hear of the release of mandrake 10 and my hopes are high but when I try to boot form the media I get the far renowned kernel panic. I’m running a 2600+ amd processor on a KT400 Dragon ultra black edition MoBo. I’m not a linux master but in the same sence I’m not a retard ether so I ask is there anything I can do to fix this problem or am I doomed to spend a life on a inferior operating system (XP). Help anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 are you booting with cd1 or 2? Boot w cd2 and insert cd1 when asked. Well, you kinda have to go on a fox hunt with devices/modules, well I did, but you'll figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help anyone! I had the same problem with 9.1 and 9.2 at the boot prompt (hit f1 for more options) type linux acpi=off noapic If that doesn't work type linux noauto If that doesn't work go in the bios and turn off all on-board options if possible (sound, usb, firewire etc) What make and model of motherboard/videocard/harddrive are you using?
