Gowator Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Will the 9.1rc1 installer script work? Until I get broadband I'm a bit stuck looks like back to 9.0 for now! Did anyone having problems with the install try a clean 9.0 install andthen an upgrade to 9.1? Perhaps that's an option? I guess I might try and just add the RPM's I need to a new/clean 9.0.

Gowator Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 OK, so I tried a completely different machine, VIA chipset instead of MSI, the only common thing being the bridges since they were both Athalon based machines. New machine MGA400, old machine NVIDIA. Hmmm. Install prceeded well, or at least better. I didn't select any packages outside of the recommended base. I planned to do that later. So it went off and the hung on some packages. Attempted to get a response from the screen by going between DETAILS on off but it froze. Ejected theCD and reinserted and I get package @@@@@@@@ failed continue. Hmm. OK but that wan't the pacjkage described as being installed. This happened twice more and in both other cases packages were trivial (RealPlayer, npdf). Still, I managed to get to the end. Lilo screwed up though and I didn't even get the traditional 'LI' death message. Instead I got a nice set of 99 99 99 99 about 20 lines long. Tried the other machine (again) and this time I managed to get a little more sense. The nice thing was it bombed out real quick. The bad thing Kernel----.mdk.rpm couldn't install, proceed. Now I'm no expert but I think this might be an important package! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
