You are saying the Red Hat Linux boot floppy which boots into the installer fine on another machine will not on the compaq? I did not try the boot disk created on my Compaq on another machine. I created a new boot disk on my Win 2000 machine at work and was able to boot into it on that machine. The one created on the 2000 machine would not boot on my Compaq either. Did you run rawrite from 'MSDOS mode'? I am not sure it will work if you are in the windows GUI environment. I boot into MS-DOS using a Win 98 boot disk that boots to an ms dos prompt and use rawrite from there. I do not know of any problems using rawrite with a Win98 based boot floppy. You may want to try different media because I know I have had problems with bad floppy media before. Tried several different floppies. No go! As stated earlier ... I suspect it's related to this particular model OR an issue with the BIOS. I'm truly at a loss of where to go now. Have you tried Red Hat Linux 8 yet? Have not tried 8.0. Got 7.3 because star office was part of the package. I cannot think of anything else to try at this point. It appears to be an issue with your particular system as we do not see this problem ourselves. |
