MetalWanderer Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I just installed Mandrake 10CE on my system. Installation goes without a hitch, but upon reboot, I get this: "L99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99" ... and so on for about half the screen. System setup: Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard Using the onboard Promise 378-based SATA-RAID controller with two 80GB SATA drives Partitioning done during install using drakX /boot is ext3 RAID1 on /dev/md0 / is reiserfs RAID0 on /dev/md1 /usr is reiserfs RAID0 on /dev/md2 /home is resierfs RAID0 on /dev/md3 swap is RAID0 on /dev/md4 LILO is installed to /dev/md0 I suspect LILO is having trouble installing the bootloader to the RAID device, but I set it up for mirroring, so both HDD's should have a complete bootloader, right? Also tried to install to only one disk, but accidentally wrote LILO to my windows array (identical HDD's, Intel ICH5R SATA-RAID controller), same results at boot. I was so happy that Mandrake finally supports my SATA controllers... I have been unable to run any form of Linux on this box for a year because there was no support (at least at install) for either SATA controller! Now that they're supported, I'd really like to get it running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
