Hi
I sent a message yesterday regarding
the same problem, but I don't think I explained it very well (c'mon, it was
late!)
Anyway, I've installed Red Hat 8.0
(clean install, on second hard disk, first disk has WinXP)
I mostly selected the defaults during
setup, including the default settings for the bootloader configuration (which I
believe to be GRUB, MBR, HDA)
When I rebooted after setup, the menu
appeared, I hit enter to boot into RH8, a whole bunch of text scrolled past and
then stopped on the line
"apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x0b
(Driver version 1.16)"
The exact same thing happened when I
first installed RH 7.3 too.
The same thing also happens when I
(try to) use the bootdisk created during install.
Yet if I use Lilo, everything works
fine!
Also, if I boot from the bootdisk,
and type "linux apm=off" at the "Boot:" prompt, it boots up!
Can anyone explain what's happening
here, do different bootloaders configure stuff like apm differently? I
just though they where used to select images to load into memory
etc...
Thanks for any help you can
give.
Rob.
