Guest mhbell Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Mandrake 9.1 installs fine but stops on the first bootup at (Finding Module dependencies) it just stays there and goes no further. Mdk 9.0 installs fine and does not have this problem. Any Ideas, Solutions? What to do now? Is there no standardization or consistancy with in the same Linux Distro? 9.0 works on 3 of my machines. Why won't 9.1? What is diffrerent. I have tried 2 different 9.1 sets purchased from different distributors. What is up with 9.1? Very angry and frustrated?

Ixthusdan Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 The most common cause of this symptom is usb devices, frequently zip usb devices. If you have them, don't connect until after boot up. I think there is a work around. If this does not fit, would you give some more detail on your system components?

scoopy Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Assuming the install media checks out, I would venture a guess that a USB device is the cause here. I would unplug them for the install... then install all those updates that were issued afterwards and then go back to configuring your devices.

The only thing USB Connected is my Cannon printer which works fine with MDK 9.0 I will try what you say and see if this is the problem.

bvc Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 try booting with the kernel parameter nousb or noapic (though this could cause other probs, it's worth a shot). I d/k what's up with 9.1. I'm ticked as well, for several reasons that I won't get into that like you, don't happen with 9.0. I've tried many different kernels and compiled kernels but 9.1 does not like some of my stuff . I have to boot with noapic acpi=off :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
