Hatepe Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 (edited) I tried to install the download version of Mandrake 10.0, but in the middle of installing the programs it hanged. During the partition process I selected an empty partition of 20 GB large. Then I let the installer do automatic partitioning in that 20 gb partition. The system hanged just after the CD#2 was asked (when installing the programs). It just did copying something and than the CD-drive stopped and the system hanged. Maybe the following message has something to do with the problem: During install it said: "the download version does not include some modems like certain ADSL and RTC. Also it may not work with certain NVidia and ATI-video cards." I have a geforce ti 4200 video card, using NVidia drivers AND I have an ADSL modem: speedtouch USB modem, to be precise. Maybe that caused the crash? To inform you guys about my system, below is a partional dump of DX-diag.

Hatepe Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Okay, maybe this is interesting info: The system hangs when displaying this two sentences: Installing package aspell-en English file for aspell Does that help? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatepe Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Problem somehow solved I decided to re-install it on the current partition and it now finished installation. Only thing is the errormessage "error in KDEArtwork-3.2mdk.i586" Sofar I can't run speedtouch-ADSL because of missing alcaudsl.sys. It copied it from my windows but now it asks for mgmt.o, so I am still trying to solve that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 It sounds like you have a bad cd2, whether from a bad download (check md5sum?), a bad burn, or bad media. In order to repair your system, don't reinstall, just go to a Mandrake mirror, download the listed rpm, and force an install of it. This should repair that problem. But, if you ecperience other odd problems, then re- download the 2nd cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatepe Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 (edited) Thanks for your help :) I did not know how to run md5run-checksum program, because at that moment I did not have linux running. So I skipped that step. I am still a beginner at linux (some years ago I used suse-linux 6.0 for a few weeks, but that is not enough to call myself experienced, very much not! :D ) and I need to learn about everything, from the commands to the directory structure. So if I wanted to run the checksum now I don't know how to do that .... So for that reason I will download CD 2 again. My ADSL problem still not solved and after reading some topics about it, I think I cannot get it right by just following the linux-installer. I need the SpeedTouch-USB-howto, is that right?

Hatepe Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 No need to re-download CD 2: I just read in another topic that freezing during install is caused if you have an USB-mouse. I have an USB-mouse, causing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
