I just built a new box to house an existing installation of Mandrake 6.0.
I used a Tyan S1590S socket 7 motherboard with an AMD K6-2 450 processor.
The memory is 2X128 Meg 10 ns DIMMs. Video is a Matrox G200 with 8 Meg or
RAM and I have a Soundblaster 16 sound card. Ethernet is a generic RealTek
8139 10/100 card.
Everything seemed to work fine. The kernel loaded and booted, sound came
up, the ethernet card initialized, etc. But when the boot reached the
script to start the systems loggers (syslog) it just hung up. I rebooted
to single user mode, removed the script from the runlevel and tried again.
This time, the boot stopped at starting Samba (smb). Once again, back to
single user mode and remove the offending script from the runlevel. No the
system will boot all the way but without logging or Samba.
None of this makes any sence to me. The installation worked fine in the
previous motherboard -- which was replaced because it crashed a lot when it
got hot -- but after transferring the good components over to the new
motherboard this annoying problem crops up.
Any ideas?
