Guest Rama Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Hi everyone, just found this board cause I can not find an answer for my problem, sure hope someone can help. I have a machine that was running Mandrake 9. I removed the HD and installed a new 40gig drive. Went through the normal installation fine and then reboot. Upon the first boot I get to the Manrake 9 loading screen. Get to Findind Module Dependencies and the system freezes. I can not use keyboard or even the reset button on my computer. Steps I have already taken: Changed boot devices from CD to no CD boot and kept install CD in drive Redownloaded ISO's and reburned them, same problem Tried a different 40gig drive For some reason nothing I seem to do can fix my problem. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Could you give some more details on your system, such as, brand of hard drive, motherboard, CPU, RAM, other periferals, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 First question: have you turned off the on-board NIC in the bios? Mandrake will continue to try to find it if you do not turn it off. Also, I recall a problem with WD harddrives and Mandrake. Try a search on that subject. I'll try as well and check back.

bvc Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 I'd Search http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/ with "western". There's a lot of info there on WD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
