Hi, some questions hhere. Have you read all the supported hardware documentation, and have you partitioned some space on your Windows 2000 drive for Linux?
I'm asking because the NT file system has limited support under Linux, and I usually have to shrink the Windows 2000 partition space and drop Linux onto that drive. Another possability which looks likely is that Drakx doesn't like your vidio card. If you are starting install from a floppy at the boot prompt type text and enter. This will turn off the graphical installer and proceed with install via text based install. If from cd I believe you must first press f1, and then the word text to turn off the gui install, and try and proceed with installation. ----- Original Message ----- From: ravi r <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 2:08 PM Subject: [expert] Installation Failure on AMD Athlon > Hi, > > I am trying to install Mandrake8.2 on my new > Athlon(XP1800+) box from the installation CDs > (downloaded from one of the mirrors). > The installer interface comes up and when i choose to > install, it fails and issue a kernel panic. > The following are the first few error msgs: > > vesafb:frame buffer <and some hex numbers> > vesafb:mode is 800X600X16; line length = 1600; pages 3 > vesafb:protected mode interface at c000:c590 > > I would like to know what is the problem and how i can > get around it. > I had the same problem when i tried to install > redhat7.2 > > Other info. > has win2k running( planning to make a dual boot > machine) > > Thanks > Ravi > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > New DSL Internet Access from SBC & Yahoo! > http://sbc.yahoo.com > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
