Hi all, A friend of mine wants to install Linux but is having probs. As I have had no problems with installation I don't have a clue so maybe someone here can help. He is trying to load linux onto a Compaq Prosignia P1 with a SCSI CD-ROM with a smart array controller. He used the 4.60 smartstart CD's to erase the current setup and prepare his system for Linux for which Linux was a selectable option. However, whatever he does he cannot seem to boot off the bootable CD. He has tried Red Hat, SUSE and LM7.1 but they just leave him with a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner of the monitor and he is forced to reboot. With Mandrake he gets a little further with Tux being displayed and the options for auto or manual installation. Both start OK, decompressing the boot instructions but then a message appears saying: "Boot failed - Please change disks and start again." Thing is, as he got the distribution from a cover disk there isn't another to try. Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks in advance Andrew
