Guest anon Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Try going into the bios setup and change the SATA operation default from : RAID auto detect AHCI TO RAID auto detect ATA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubeno Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Try going into the bios setup and change the SATA operation default from :RAID auto detect AHCI TO RAID auto detect ATA <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi! I was just installing 10.0 on my new Dell Dimension, and I was not able to install it (partition and all) until I made the switch above. The problem I have now is that windows will not start unless I make the switch back (but then mandrake will not start!). I was thinking that the solution might be to re-install windows now, but I read somewhere that this might cause some problems. Any ideas? Also, I'm having problems because linux does not recognize the network card (when I try using drakconnect, it only gives me the "manual choice" and then a big list of "networl/main driver" things. I tried a few of them, but none work. Thanks a lot! ruben p.s. By the way, I am kind of a newbie too, so please don't be too technical!

Guest indio Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Maybe install mandrake with kernel arguements acpi=off noapic ? Press F1 when installation starts and not enter, then type in linux acpi=off noapic . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
