[newbie] 7.2 Installation - System hangs after reboot
Hi All, I have gone thru the 7.2 install GUI (booted from the floppy) from the iso images available on the web. No problems with the install. When the pc reboots, it comes back up and displays "stage1" and hangs. I don't know what to do to correct it. I have gone thru the install couple of times and nothing seems to make a difference. Running a AST Bravo Pentium 133MHz, 96MB Ram. I have two physical drives and am trying to install Linux as the only operating system. Please Help Thanks Kishore Sr. Programmer. Sabre, Inc.

I think that's GRUB the boot loader hanging. I had it happen too and I put the install disc in again and did an "upgrade" install and it fixed itself. There might be a better way though. --Matt White Bear Lake, MN - Original Message - From: "KishoreKolli" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 10:46 AM Subject: [newbie] 7.2 Installation - System hangs after reboot Hi All, I have gone thru the 7.2 install GUI (booted from the floppy) from the iso images available on the web.

Well, your booter should have a "failsafe" choice, try that first. I am guessing that the kernel thought it recognized a situation for a fast disk and made some incompatible settings in the ide. Install as you did but add the following to the bootloader install--edit each system that comes up and plug this into the Append line. ide0=noautotune ide1=noautotune idebus=16 If you have PIO set for 33MHz and the chipset can only do 16.6 Anyway that should back the kernel off from optimizing enough to get you going. If it doesn't, then check your cabling and your memory in that order. The boot kernel will use almost all RAM available all of the time, and may be uncovering a defect in a memory chip. More likely, it is a drive cable that has seen too much vibration. Civileme
