Try booting with 'linux ide=nodma'. Does that help? booting with 'linux ide=nodma" produces a blank blue screen after messages 'running install...' and 'running /sbin/loader' booting with 'expert' produces blank blue screen w/ msg 'divide error: 000' after screen 4 'Installation Method'.. response 'LOCAL CDROM'. Blue screen gives 'EIP: 0010:[<c0107233>]', 'Code: c3 fb c3 89 f6 fb b8 ff ff ff ff ba 00 e0 ff ff 21 e2 87 42', and 'Kernel panic....', et After panic CTL-ALT-DEL does not work and CDROM drive is locked (will not open). Hard drive is Maxtor 88400D8, 8011MB (LBA mode) on hda CDROM is CR-4801TE CD-R on hdd Changing component to the kernel. Could you give a more detailed overview of the system ? Eg what chipset and such (lspci will show you, as will the Win98 hardware info thingy) lspci (Debian/GNU) gives: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C585VP [Apollo VP1/VXP] (rev 18) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586/A/B PCI-to-ISA [Apollo VP] (rev02) 00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586 IDE [Apollo[ (rev 02) 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RT8029 (AS) 00:0b.0 VGA Compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP (reg 5c) The NIC is an ACER 200 10 mips PCI The video is an ATI Xpert @Work PCI Sorry typo. The NIC is an ACER 201. This system is an old work horse that has been running in different configurations with different hardware for many years. MB: Unknown manufacuter: VIA VX Pro chipset, 6 PCI, 3 EISA slots Memory: 2 x 8 Meg SIMMS + 2 x 32Meg SIMMS = 80 Meg CPU: Intel Pentium-S 133 Video: ATI Xpert @Work PCI Lan: Acer 201 10Mbps PCI Sound: Soundbaster 64 EISA Disk: Maxtor 88400D 8Gig in LBA mode on /dev/hda CD: CR-4801TE CD-R on /dev/hdd One standard 3 1/2 floppy Ok could you try specifying "mem=78M" (yes 2Mb less than you have) on the syslinux commandline ? The memory detection algorithm changed in 2.4 and maybe the bios is providing slightly off results. "linux mem=78M" and "linux mem=78M,ide=nodma" produce the same results already noted. Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
