RE: [newbie] Error installing Linux Mandrake 7.0
The bios detects the hard drive and so does linux (when the install initializes everything. Win98 was on the drive before It wa formated, now there is jst a win95 system (to boot to C: prompt) -Original Message-From: Paul Hefferan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 12:40 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [newbie] Error installing Linux Mandrake 7.0 Does your BIOS see the hard drive you are trying to install to?

Title: RE: [newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0 SAme problem I'm having exactly the same. -Original Message- From: Simon Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 1:08 PM To: Mandrake send, Mandrake send Subject: [newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0 Dear List, I'm hoping some kind soul will help me with this... I'm a Mac user so keep it simple;-))) I'm attempting to install Mandrake 7.0 on an old Compaq. I start up with the boot floppy that came with the Mandrake pack, I also have CD disk one in the CD drive. The machine boots on the floppy Ok. It then says: boot: Loading CDrom.rdz.. Loading vmlinuz... (wait) Initializing CD rom In second stage install (wait) I am then asked to choose a language (I choose Uk English and hit return) I then choose the 'recommended install' and hit return I then choose to 'Install' rather than 'Upgrade' and hit return I then get an error message saying "An error occurred, No available partitions" I have not formatted the hard drive yet, I'm expecting to be given that option in the next window. I am *not* wanting a dual boot system, Linux only!! Any ideas?

Title: RE: [newbie] Mandrake 7.1 S3 Trio 3D we had the same problem on an IBM 300PL with the same video card, you need to use the Xfree86 server for VGA not SVGA and it will work fine, or do what we did we set it up with the SVGA server but ran VNC on it and attached to it remotely -Original Message- From: Alan Shoemaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 2:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.1 S3 Trio 3D Iagoba wrote: Hello again I was trying to Install Mandrake 7.1 in my job's computer, (I wanted show the Linux excelences to my boss), and I ever got the same problem, when I'm configuring the X Server, when I try to test the resolution mode the instalation crash! the window appears black and never returns to the instalation, I'm installing it in an: IBM PC 300GL with 64MB Ram, S3 Trio 3D Integrated in the motherboard with 4MB, HD 2 GB for linux and 2GB for W98 and one Ethernet ne2000 compatible. I read that this video card is incompatible with linux, how could I configure X then? perhaps like Standard SVGA? or VGA? I can't install other Video Card, (is my job's computer, my boss don't let me do that), Some help could be very very GREAT FANTASTIC! Iagoba Iagobawhich xserver did you choose during the installation? The reason I ask is I've seen the behavior you describe when installing the 4.0 beta server. If you are using it then perhaps you'll have better luck with the 3.3.6 server. -- MandrakeSoft Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Altadena, CA USA --Alan

Title: RE: [newbie] Error installing Linux Mandrake 7.0 Ok first I should of mentionned this is a hitachi notebook (MX133T) The only thing that is removable is the hardrive/floppy drive and the pcmcia cards there are no cards installed. When I get the setup program to detect them it detects none, The hardrive must be removable but not easily. Both the cdrom and diskette drive owrk and are detected fine. The cdrom is IDE and is the primary slave on th notebook. There is no option to skip the drive but I do skip the detection of pcmcia devices as it generates and error. -Original Message- From: Alan Shoemaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 2:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Error installing Linux Mandrake 7.0 Duval, Dominique wrote: During the install when it prompts me wether this is an install or and upgrade I get an error that no partitions could be found.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dominiqueis there a removable media IDE (or scsi) device that has no media in it at the time you are installing. If so maybe the installer is seeing that device and erroring on it. Does the error applet have a choice to skip the drive. If so, use it. -- MandrakeSoft Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Altadena, CA USA --Alan
RE: [newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0
I did create a partition. and made it active. -Original Message- From: Paul Hefferan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 2:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0 When you ran fdisk did you create any partitions? You need to have an existing partition table for the LM installer to work from. When you fdisk you need to create (and set active) a primary partition. You may also create an extended partition if you like. You need to reboot after running fdisk and creating a partition. - Original Message - From: Duval, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dominique To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' mailto:'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ; Simon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Martin Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 3:13 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0 I tried doing fdisk and leaving no partition no help -Original Message- From: Larry Marshall [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 2:09 PM To: Simon Martin Cc: Mandrake send, Mandrake send Subject: Re: [newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0 This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet Service.
