RE: [newbie] Kernel Panic on boot from Install CD on Athlon
I have tried that. It doesnt work. I think the problem is with the video card i have. if that is the case will it work if i phyisically remove the video card and install linux and then insert the video card again ?

Re: [newbie] Kernel Panic on boot from Install CD on Athlon
do you have shared video memory with an onboard video card? if so you will need to hit f1 instead of enter when first prompted to hit enter to install or upgrade. you will then need to tell the installer how much memory it can use without effecting the video memory, like this (without the quotes) linux mem=xxxM where xxx is changed to equal the amount of ram availabel to the system after subtracting for video ram. so if I had 128 meg ram, but had shared 16 megs with the video, I would type linux mem=112M On Monday 23 September 2002 01:20 pm, you wrote: Hi, I am trying to install Mandrake8.2 on my new Athlon(XP1800+) box from the installation CDs (downloaded from one of the mirrors).
