Just thought this may give you some info, you may know already, when LiLo
boots up all files are set to READ ONLY until boot is completed. This
may be what you are seeing flash on the screen. I have installed

These are problems that I've had on in the development kernels, not the 2.2 series.
Loosing the inturupt means you have a timming problem. ARE YOU OVER-CLOCKING. Some

you running. If Slackware also caused

If you haven't already done so, edit your /etc/lilo.conf to mount your root
partition as read-only (If I remember correctly there's an option for this at
installation time), then run lilo to write the stuff to the MBR. For help on
this, you can type 'man lilo.conf' at the console. If you can't

Hi folks,
My install keeps booting to text install and then does not recognize my
partition table.
Sample message:
hdb: drive not ready for command
hdb: status error: status = 0x00 {}

Romanas I believe I said before, run partinfo.exe.
I believe you have errors in your partition table that can be
identified by partinfo.exe and fixed with ptedit.exe (both are
part of PM).
Concerning the lost interrupt errors, they are usually
associated with hard drives and cdroms.
Alan,
I tried to purchase the CD but there was some sort of billing address discrepency.
If I download the ISO file to one of my partitions, that is the one that I want to
have Linux Mandrake installed to, do I still have to run rawwrite.exe again.
I checked the FAQ section and there appears

Yes, but it is DOS based, called Norton Utilities 8, and the program to run

Ok, lets go step by step to what happened and what you should have done, and
what you need to do. Most of it isnt' really Mandrakes fault really.

i'm sorry you have to go. i had a similar problem, but my harddrive
wouldn't remount in read/write mode. so i basically had a harddirive that i
