partrick Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I just install 10.0 3CDs into my gf's laptop, which is a Toshiba 1115-s103. there are some errors show up during installing, but i don't think that are big problems. anyway when it reboots, it stops at "checking for new hardware". should I try to burn new CDs and reinstall it? or cause by something else? Thanks alot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Welcome to the board! If you boot with the failsafe option does it boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 -boot with cd1 and at the splashscreen press F1 -then type rescue and press Enter -then choose Mount your partitions under /mnt -then choose Go To Console -then type; chroot /mnt and press Enter -then type chkconfig harddrake off you may have to do; /sbin/chkconfig harddrake off -then type reboot or do Ctrl+Alt+Delete did it work?

partrick Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 it works for "checking new hardware", but fail to "bringup the interface eth0". however, I can get into the GUI now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 sometimes, even though it says eth0 (your ethernet card) failed, it didn't. Check to see if your internet works and if not try and config it using the Mandrake Control Center. If it still doesn't work, post another thread with details about your card/and config.

partrick Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 (edited) my internet doesnot work, and i can't config the hardware either. the Mandrake control center does not show up. it's just "loading...", and the pic never disapear.

partrick Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 i just did a text installation with no error at all, but still have the same problem. i guess if i turn the harddrake off in Rescue, I will not be able to use control center later in GUI. However, if i don't turn it off, i will not pass the "checking new hardware". deadlock here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 not having harddrake at boot will not stop mcc (mandrake control center) from starting. You can force an uninstall of harddrake from the cli.....I used to do it all the time and I never run harddrake at boot. Not once have I found it anything other than an anoying, crappy app. Start mcc from a gui terminal (xterm, rxvt, konsole, aterm, Eterm, gnome-terminal) with; mcc or drakconf and see if any errors are printed out in the terminal.

partrick Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 (edited) after "mcc", a pic with "Mandrakelinux control center, loading... please wait" comes up, and doesn't disappear. the MCC never comes up. same problem as before. and there is no error msgs in the terminal screen.

arctic Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 there are some errors show up during installing, but i don't think that are big problems do you remember some of the error messages? maybe there was one really major error and knowing something about that would surely help. have you tried some other cd's? maybe you have a bad burn or bad download.

partrick Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 but the last time, there was no errors during text installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 (edited) ooops... sorry, i should read your postings better. :lol: hmmm... just an idea: you can configure your network via the config-scripts, then you should not need mcc, i guess. afterwards you could possibly set up some easyurpmi-ftp-mirrors and update your system. maybe the updates have some tweaks that stop this "bug/problem/headache". :unsure: Edited August 8, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partrick Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 i tried to install SuSE 9.1, and it was fine. I will try MDK 9.2 later to see if that will work. The problem was that after I installed 10.0, it cannot "bring up eth0". And there was still some problem with "checking new hardware", if I did not disable it.
