Re: [newbie] Hi, I cant boot up my mandrake 91
i believe it's the integrated Savage 4 video that causing the boot-up issues. try taking total ram - (video ram + 2), and setting the value during bootup like you said. in your case, try press F1, and type in linux mem=94M (i'm assuming you're using the full 32mb capability of the integrated Savage 4.) a suggestion. ram is cheap, buy up to at least 256mb, preferably 512mb, it'll make your computing experience much more enjoyable. a less effective suggestion. try reducing the 32mb used for the Savage 4 to 8mb for the time being. pls feed back the success or failure using linux mem=94M on this motherboard. hth - Original Message - From: Alberto Borges de Almeida To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 01:01 Subject: [newbie] Hi, I cant boot up my mandrake 91 Hi, I can't boot up my mandrake 91. i start to boot Mandrake 91 them apear the screen of instal, i press enter and FREEZE.

Thankyou, Alberto Almeida This could be your cdrom or your memory (RAM) 128Mb is kinda on the light side especially if you have a bad Ram chip.

Thankyou, Alberto Almeida Alberto - what kind of cd or dvd are you installing from? A bought one, or a downloaded one that you burned to disk? If it's a downloaded one - did you check the md5sums? This would tell you whether it was a good burn. It may help if you tell us about your graphics card, monitor, and anything else that you can think of.
