Dear people of mandrake mailinglist,
I have a problem with the installation of mandrake
9.0,
I used to have a slackware distribution installed but
it took too much of linux experience (which i don't
really have yet). I was recommended to install
mandrake.
So i made an install of mandrake: everything went
well:
I formatted the old linux partition (4.0 GB) and swap
space (125 MB) (HD is 40 GB total ~36 GB is used for
Win98).
I chose everything from the mandrake desktop
possibilities to choose from.
When the installation was completed successfully the
system was rebooted and the linux loader came up.
Linux was chosen and then my computer hanged.
With the next check line my computer hanged:
"Finding module dependencies: ....."
And then my computer didn't respond to anything.
I did a reinstall and the same problem occured.
I did a upgrade and installed some more features and
again my computer hanged but with another check line
namely:
"Enabling swap space ....."
And then my computer didn't respond to anything.
Every time i did a reboot the system gave an error
that my hda3 wasn't completely well mounted so a check
force was needed and within 4.7% my computer hangs
again!!!!
What is the problem??? I stayed up till 4 in the
morning coping with this problem!!!! Please help me!!!
Is my swap space too small? Is the hda3 not fully
formatted? Is my computer not compatible with
mandrake?
(I am running windows98 beside mandrake and using a
asus a7n266 with integrated nForce video chipset and a
AMD athlon 1700+ with 385 MB of DDR ram, plextor
writer and a sony cdrom player)
I hope u can help me ty in advance,
Greetings Wouter Pos The netherlands.
