I am trying to install Linux-Mandrake on a DEC ALPHAstation 255. I have obtained an install CD from Mr. O's Linux Emporium I have created a boot disk I sucessfully boot into milo(Alpha variant of lilo) I type the following boot command boot scd0:/boot/instboot.gz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 mdkinst rw ramdisk_size=32000 It requests the boot floppy(in drive) I hit <enter> It loads the install program I select 'Local CDRom' for Installation Method I select 'SCSI' for the type of CDROM that i have. It loads second stage ramdisk Initializing CDROM, in second stage install I select English (US) for language I select Expert installation class I select Normal usage(this will eventually be a web server, ie NO ftp or telnet) I select YES for try to find PCI devices NO other devices(Found Symbios| 53c810 scsi interface. Do you have another one?) Select Install on Install/Upgrade screen Select Generic Mouse (PS/2) Select US keyboard I get a list of languages, this covers up the Linux screen, parts can be seen behind it) Select English (US) I get a segmentation fault I says ' seems like memory is missing as the install crashes error :( switch to console f2 for a shell Press <Enter> to reboot The machine is now locked up, neither f2 or enter will work.
