Hi Folks,
I tried to install RHL 8.0 on the following configuration. The system hangs
while anaconda detects hardware (possibly monitor) . So I tried `linux text
noprobe skipddc' and it loads without a problem. The CDs tested okay,
install went smoothly and I chose GRUB as the bootloader.
Problem #1:
But after the install when I choose RHL it throws `Error 28: Selected item
can not fit into memory' at me. I tried removing the argument
`hdd=ide-scsi' but got the same results. The grub manual lists the error
but no solution. Does it have something to do with the large disk? What
should be my next course of action? What parameters/arguments do I pass?
May be some setting in BIOS? Win2k identifies, installs and boots
flawlessly, even when called by GRUB.
Problem #2:
I selected the partitions to be formatted as ext3fs but the booting error
mentions that it's trying to boot from ext2fs. Strange.
I tried Debian Potato and RHL 7.1, RHL 6.2 also and they do boot with LILO.
Have not tried RHL 8.0 with LILO.
Software:
Redhat Linux 8.0 (kindly provided by Sandeep Bhattacharya)
Hardware:
Athlon XP 2000
ASUS mainboard
on-board nVidia GeForce MX 2
Samsung Samtron 55V
256 MB DDR RAM
80GB HDD - Primary Master)
20 GB (Primary Slave)
Any and all help is appreciated.
