A lot of them are concerned with laptops and suspend issues, so I presume they can be ruled out. IIRC you have tried 'linux noapic' when booting - if you haven't already done so, try linux noacpi. No, it's not the same, and at least one poster believes that to be the solution. Other solutions offered include Disabling dma - is this possible at bootup? Possibility of case cooling problem Possibility of dubious ribbon cable http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2003/Dec/6027.html reports that a firware fix sorted one problem out. Do any of these seem to fit Philip's case, I wonder? Clearly this is an issue that is reported in many distros, many versions. My gut feeling is that the last one may be relevant, as it's fairly recent, with new hardware and the 2.6 kernel. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could look at the thread and comment?

[newbie] Linux install on WinXP
OK - I'm frustrated! I've done this 3 times now and every time the install appears PERFECT, except when I reboot, it goes straight to WinXP. No LILO, nothing. I take the default location for LILO from the installer, figure it would know best, and 3 times - nothing! How can I fix this?! How do I know where to put LILO? (boot partition?).

First off, name the folder with the installation file RedHat (maybe you named it "Mandrake" like I did). Also, make sure you make a Supplementary disk (the image should be listed with the boot image). Next, you need to download a file named MV and place it in the RedHat folder (you can find the file with Lycos FTP search (under the advanced search). The file may be downloaded with .html as the extension, ignore the Windows warning when you delete that extension after the download is finished. Start the installation as normal, and when asked where you are installing from, select 'hard drive', at which time you'll need to insert the supplementary install disk. After setting up your partitions, you'll be asked where the RedHat directory is located (let's say /dev/hda1). Type that in, then press ALT+F2 to get the command prompt (#). (I'll try to show it as you should see it). At the prompt, type (do not type #): # ls /tmp/hdimageEnter (you should see all of the files on the harddrive where your RedHat files are located) Next type: # umount /tmp/hdimageEnter #mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /tmp/hdimageEnter (if you get an error message, retype it replacing 'vfat' with 'msdos') now type: # cd /tmp/hdimage/RedHatEnter # lsEnter (you should now get a listing of the files in the RedHat directory...rpms, base, mv) type: # ./mv rpms XEnter (you can type 'ls' after this command to see that rpms is gone and X is listed) # ./mv X RPMSEnter (definately type 'ls' this time to see that rpms and X are gone and RPMS is there) # cd / # umount /tmp/hdimage At this point, press ALT+F1 to return to the installation screen. On the line asking for the RedHat directory, leave it only showing '/'. Press OK, and the installation should continue from there. If you have any questions or problems with these instructions, you can e-mail me. ~Manny Styles [EMAIL PROTECTED] NetZero - We believe in a FREE Internet. Shouldn't you?

[newbie] Linux Install Question
I downloaded a copy of Linux-Mandrake 5.3 to my primary hard drive which is dos formatted and running win95. I am installing Linux on a second hard drive. I am using a floppy boot disk to install Linux. How can I get the install program to use the files from the dos disk for the install? Thanks Jerry

Thanks Jerry You will also need to make a supplemental diskette, if you don't already have one. -- Lloyd Osten [EMAIL PROTECTED]
