Subject: Help! Installation problems!
> Hello there,
>I have some trouble installing Mandrake on my system and would like some
>help. The problem is that, when I boot from a disk (being created by
rawrite
>using cdrom.img), installation starts normally, and I get into the
graphical
>user interface. I select the keyboard map and stuff, but when the installer
>reaches the 'SCSI detection' step the system freezes.
>I downloaded the patch you give, and put it in the boot disk under the name
>'patch.pl'. At the boot prompt, I entered 'linux patch' as it is said, but
>still, the problem persists, and the system freezes when it reaches the
>'SCSI detection' step.
>What do I have to do to make the patch work?
>
>Also, I tried to install Mandrake using the 'txt_boot.img'. In this case,
>the installation of packages would finish, but then again I would have
>problem starting the X server. I choose the monitor from the list, and then
>it detects my graphics card correctly. When it tries to start the X server
>for testing my settings, the screen would blink a few times, and then a
>message would appear saying that an error occurred and X server could not
be
>started.

>I would appreciate it if you could help me a little bit and tell me what to
>do.

>Below is my system description in case you need it:
>
>Pentium-MMX 166MHz
>48MB RAM
>Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 2MB (BIOS 1.04, rev L)
>Opti 924 Soundcard
>and I have three hard disks: 1GB (FAT32), 528MB (on which I install linux)
>and 100MB(FAT).
>Sony CDROM 2x
>Modem 56KBps
>
>Also, the installer freezes at the SCSI detection step, on the
>Celeron-466MHz I use.

>Thanks for your help.
