toxic Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Hi all. at the moment I have installed mandriva LE2005 64-bit and that works just fine. But am having a lot of trouble with java and flash and so on, so I decided to install the 32-bit version. But when I try to install mandriva it just freeze. it not at a specific point it freeze it just happens at the beginning. when I try to install in text mode it stops when it says " Please wait Installing driver for hard drive controller nVidia corporation|CK804 Serial ATA ControllerDisabling IRQ#12 " I have tryed "Linux noapic" but doesn't work. what can i do???

Ixthusdan Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Try also adding some other switches: nolapic, dma=off. I would suggest turning off all the power saving features in the bios. You can reset all of it after you have a running system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Are you using the sata or standard ide? Is your ram installed in the correct configuration for dual channel operation? If you are not using raid or sata, is it off in the bios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxic Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) I have mandrake on my ide disk. and my ram are sat to dual in the bios. I am not using raid and that is off in bios also. but I do use the sata disk because i run winXP on my sata drive. what really confusses me is that I can install the 64-bit version with no problem. it's only the 32-bit that gives me trubble. I also tryed downloading Mandriva 2006 beta 0.3 and the exact same happend. thx for helping :D Edited August 31, 2005 by toxic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Try turning the sata drive off for the install. The boot loader can be easily edited later. Sometimes sata with ide installs are troublesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
