Hi all, I have a dual Pentium 200 cpu system with 256mb ram (8 x 32Mb 30pin) 8 x SCSI HDD 4 x 4Gb 4 x 8Gb attached to an AMI Megaraid controller with 16Mb ram Matrox Millenium 4Mb video card
(ex server) I have attempted to install Mandrake 9.1 many times, each time I have done a complete hardware level format of the physical drives from the RAID controller then made 2 (two) logical drives the 4 x 4Gbs together and the 4 x 8Gbs together in RAID 5 to give me approx 13Gb and approx 26Gb. I have also attempted to install Redhat 9.0 and Mandrake 9.0 It seems to go through the install process fine. Under both wizard and expert configuration. (I'm no expert, but have worked with M$ from DOS 1.1 upwards so figured I might stand a chance of understanding some of the setup in expert) Finished install and time to reboot. Remove CD from drive and reboot. Before LILO or GRUB I get: L 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 etc.......... until it freezes. Usually about 1/2 screen of 40's Then no LILO or GRUB. I've tried FDISK/MBR from a win98 bootdisk then RESCUE from the Mandrake CD1 to recreate LILO. No error messages, everything fine... But still no boot. Just L 40 40 40 40 40 etc... Any help would be appreciated. TIA Shaz
