Recently I have tried to install your product
Linux Mandrake 7.2 Odyssey.
I tried to do it in many ways: booting from CD,
floppy prepared with cdrom.img, all.img. But it didn't work -
installation stops while installator is trying (I'm not sure) to
detect my hardware. It stops after recognizing my LG CD-ROM CRD 8482B. I
have second SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-604 and it isn't detected. instalator stops
(hangs).
I visited your website and looked at fixes for installation
problems. I have found only this (from your site) :
"Error scenario: Problem with some SCSI cards using the
aha2940 and aha2930 (and possibly other) chipsets. As a result, SCSI drives and
CD-ROMs are not recognized, and you may receive a message like "I could not
mount a device on /dev/scd0" or you will see pci error messages looping in the
console output.
When: During installation with some SCSI cards that use the aha2940 chipset. Please note that not all SCSI cards using this chipset are affected. Solution: Download this new CD-ROM boot floppy image file and this patch floppy image file. You will need two blank floppy diskettes and you must create a boot floppy and patch floppy of the two images (using dd
if=image.img of=/dev/fd0). Boot from the newly created boot floppy and at
the first prompt press F1. At the syslinux prompt type: patch. You will then be
prompted to insert the patch floppy with contains the the proper aic7xxx module.
This will then create a proper initrd during installation."This problem isn't as mine, but the floppy let
installator go a bit farther.
I prepared boot floppy using RawWrite and
booted Linux. It went ahead my problem (there was even preparing
for second stage installation), but it didn't prompt to insert patch floppy and at the end I recived message "you may safely reboot
your system"
What can I do with this? I'm using Windows and I wanted to try
your Mandrake. I'm asking you for help
