Re: [ilugd] FC3 (PCQLinux) boot problem, >1GB RAM
Hi, Just a passing thought.. do the "slanting lines" come after it says "Welcome to PCQLinux" or before it?? If its before the Welcome line. then init seems to be facing a problem.. -Subhasis On Wed, 16 Mar 2005 22:58:19 -0800 (PST), Naresh Narang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- Viksit Gaur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > After having installed PCQLinux on a machine with > > 4GB > > of RAM, and a SCSI hdd, I'm having trouble booting. > > The Kernel starts off well enough, and init seems to > > come up - but as soon as that happens, all i see is > > a > > bunch of slanting lines on a black background. > > Hi > > Since your installation went fine, all you want > to do is boot with a floppy or CD and change > initdefault in /etc/inittab to 3 and then fix your X > if you need graphics.

Hi Since your installation went fine, all you want to do is boot with a floppy or CD and change initdefault in /etc/inittab to 3 and then fix your X if you need graphics. Usually, servers don't need any graphics anyway. Regards, --Naresh __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.

[ilugd] FC3 (PCQLinux) boot problem, >1GB RAM
Hello all, After having installed PCQLinux on a machine with 4GB of RAM, and a SCSI hdd, I'm having trouble booting. The Kernel starts off well enough, and init seems to come up - but as soon as that happens, all i see is a bunch of slanting lines on a black background. After checking it out on the internet, I came to the conclusion that the problems may lie in one of the following areas (*Possibly): 1)ACPI - I tried passing acpi=off without any results 2)SCSI issues - i tried hda=ide-scsi without any results 3)The possiblity of a Direct Memory Access problem which Linux seems to face with more than 1GB of memory (Why/How does this happen?). There was something mentioned about CONFIG_HIGHMEM on a bunch of forums, but I'm assuming thats somewhere in the X config - device drivers section? Or is it something to do with other kernel parameters to be set from somewhere else? TIA, Cheers!
