Hi all - I have a little bit of an odd situation I was hoping somebody might be able to shed some light on.
Somebody has asked me to take a machine with a 300+GB hard drive, and install 5 or 6 different distributions of linux on it for them. The idea is that they want to play with the different version for a while before picking one. The hard drive is the master on IDE0, and the CD drive is the master on IDE1. Here's the odd part. Certain distributions' install CDs won't boot. I can boot Ubuntu (both live and install CDs), I can boot Knoppix, but I cannot boot either Fedora Core 4 or CentOS 4.1. When I put them in, the boot process just acts as though there isn't even a CD in the drive. I'm reasonably certain that both CDs are good - I used them just a couple days ago. It's not boot order in the BIOS - I have that set to use the CD drive first. Anybody have any thoughts? I'm more than happy to provide any required information that I didn't post here... -- "Maybe I'll be able to get a job when I graduate..." -Linus Torvalds Cole Tuininga Lead Developer Code Energy, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 0x43E5755D _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
