imwithstupid Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) I've tried to install Mdk 10 rc1 for amd 64 a couple of times now and it keeps giving me an error when it trys to format hda. Then if I dig a little deeper it tells me that it can't find all these perl scripts. I'm clueless as to what's going on. Any ideas? (I'm at work now...I'll replicate the prob when I get home and copy down the whole error message) Edited June 15, 2004 by imwithstupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I had a problem with it accessing the IDe disks. For me it couldnt load the stage2 from the CD... I didnt get past that it booted from the CD then claimed it couldnt find the CD ... In the end i just mounted the iso's on another PC and made a http install. If its just the HD format you can always preformat the disks anyway ... using a live Cd etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imwithstupid Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 It worked and I found out that the problem was actually in writting the partition tables and not formating the drive. It formated the partitions redhat made and worked like a charm. Except: I had to do it twice because redhat only gave like 80 MB to /home and i have a 80 gig harddrive...didn't notice till it said disk full when I was moving all my personal files into /home. Thanks for idea...though it should've been something I thought of right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
