Guest Dragonmantank Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) I am trying to install Mandrake 10.1. The install goes just fine without any problems. When the computer reboots if I go under the 'linux' option, I get just a blank screen. If I do the 'no-fb' option, it stops booting after loading the ACPI modules. I added two test options that had ACPI and APM turned off, and that will boot until I get an error as it checks the root file system: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 - cannot find file or block (or something along those lines). Any ideas? Edited January 24, 2005 by Dragonmantank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dragonmantank Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I ended up downloading and running the SuSE 9.1 Live Eval CD, and used the options for it's safe run. For the Compaq Presario 705, I needed to use these settings for Mandrake 10.1 Community to work: ide=nodma apci=off apm=off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
