Perdido Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Hello all, I have a problem trying to install Mandrake 9.2 in my Clevo D400E laptop (I have the same problem with other distros): I boot with the CD 1 (it has been tested in other computer and it works) and it freezes after booting the kernel (the screen goes black and there is no activity). I have to reboot. If I try to load it with a text-only option I can see these messages: Loading root.bin... Loading linux.bin... ready. Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Then it freeze... Any idea?. Someone here with the same laptop (it is reselled with a lot of diferent names all the world arround) and Mandrake 9.2?.

Guest Adriano Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 The second CD is also bootable, and planned for cases like this. Try to install booting from it, and tell us what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
