Does booting with 'linux nofb' help? There is a difference if I use 'linux nofb'. Whereas with text or graphical install once 'running /sbin/loader' is displayed, the screen settings change i.e. there is a new font and size used, the character intensity changes and the cursor now looks like a block instead of like '_' . This cursor then disappears and system hangs. With 'linux nofb' the screen settings do not change. And the cursor '_' continues to blink; but even after waiting for 10 minutes the install process is stuck at 'running /sbin/loader' no HDD or CD drive activity. As you can see I am not a computer professional so i don't know what details are important and what are not. Please excuse me for being a little cumbersome. Thanks. Can you also try to see if 'linux nofirewire' or 'linux nopcmcia' make any difference? 'linux nofirewire' and 'linux nopcmcia' give exactly the same results as text or graphic install. Same thing with a Duron 1300 and Gigabyte board! Surely something has happened on this bug in 6 months? Regds, Dave The board is a GA-7VAXP and I have tried everything I can think of, including all of the above. Symptoms are identical. Regards, Dave No Dave, No progress I know of. I just gave up and shifted to Mandrake 10.0. It isn't bad. Maybe you can try Fedora Core 2. Lots of folks I know are happily using it though not on the same config as me. Cheers, Daksh. |
