Hi, I've got a HP DX5150 which needs to have Linux installed on it, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. I'm using Len Sorensen's sarge installer with the 2.6.12 kernel, downloaded from http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/. I haven't been able to get a dump from lspci, but here is what HP says about the unit:
# AMD Athlon. 64 or Sempron # ATI RadeonĀ® XPRESS 200 chipset # ATI Radeon 9600 integrated graphics . standard VGA and DVI-D ports # Supports up to 4-GB of PC 3200 (DDR 400) Synch DRAM Memory # 6 rear USB 2.0 ports and 2 front USB 2.0 ports # Realtek AC97 integrated audio with internal speaker # Integrated PCI-E Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet NIC http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-64287-89301-321860-f49-457124.html Problem: The installation hangs when it is at 100% of the detecting hardware part. I can at that moment switch back and forth between the consoles for a couple of minutes, then the whole system freezes and I have to hardboot. This is how I did it: When the installation starts I switch to console 2 and modprobes sata-uli, ahci and sata_sil. The log said it found my hard drive so I thought everything was ok. I continue with the installation, and again, the whole installation stops at 100% when detecting the hardware. Before the system froze I looked at the log console and it said it's searching for the installation media, and before that an error message claiming it can't find ide-mod, ide-probe-mod and ide-detect. And then it freezes. In the BIOS configuration I have only 3 options to choose from regarding the sata controller and I've tried all of them: * sata disabled * IDE (Which I presume is IDE emulation) * RAID Any suggestions what to try now?
