I had the same exception error until I went into system startup and changed the value for Plug & Play OS to <no> The only problem now is after installation the Linux boot menu doesn't display an OS for me to choose. Boots right into Windows 2000 Server. During the installation I followed the advice posted in the left hand column of anaconda to not create a new mbr if your dual booting with windows nt/2000. Anaconda said to create a boot record in the partition where Linux is to be installed. The only shot I have to boot linux is to use the boot disk that I created at the end of the installation which I suppose is used to start Linux if no boot loader was choosen. I choose grub as the boot loader. Any help or recommended books I should read would be helpful. After using the boot disk to start linux I'm brought to a commmand prompt asking for logon credentials. After providing logon credentials I only see a commmand line. During installation when asked the role of the system I choose server. Then added the gnome and kde desktop on top of the default setting of X Windows. Is there a way to start the gui from the command line? You'll need to add an entry to your NT boot loader if you didn't install the bootloader to the MBR; see the Linux+NT howto for more information. (http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+WinNT.html) As to why you didn't come up in X, you will probably have better luck asking on a mailing list with more complete details about what your video card and such are since bugzilla is not a support forum. I'd recommend enigma-list (https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/enigma-list) |
