Subject: [newbie] Mandrake-Linux 8.1 installation problem
Hi All People,
I tried nearly 2 weeks but still could not solve the installation problem
of Mandrake-Linux 8.1. Detail as follows :
Configuration of the PC for Linux box
CPU AMD K2 350
Hard Disk3.6G ATA-33
RAM 128 MB
ISO Images were download to a Windows ME box with Anti-Virus and all
protection programs closed.
Burning software : Tried both Easy CD Creator 4.0 and 5.0 respectively
Burning speed : Tried 2X, 4X and 8X respectively
md5sum : matched
(Remark : I have Mandrake-Linux 7.2 version also downloadrd the same
Windows ME box and burnt with Easy Cd Creator 4.0 at 4X. The CDs thus
burnt can be installed in the abovementioned Linux Box, running great
without problem)
Installation went through without problem but the PS/2 mouse died after
re-booting. It was alive at time of installation. KDE could be started
after re-booting and worked normally. The mouse was found in HardDrake
under the list. It is a A4 3-button wheel PS/2 mouse. But during
installation I was not allowed to select another mouse, otherwise the PC
would re-start automatically.
During logout (Re-boot/Halt) the PC hanged with following warning ;
/dev/pasux : no such device or address
Mainloop returned consoleInit : nor such device or address
INIT : no more process left in the runlevel
Then the PC hanged.
On terminal window
Type ls -l /dev/misc
It prompted
..
total 0
crw - - - - - - rootamp_bios
crw - r - - - - rootrootpsux
crw - r - - - - rootrootrtc
Any guy on the list has encountered the aforesaid problem previously
please
advise.
Thanks in advice.
B.R.
