Dear All,
i got this request for help regarding Rh6.1 installation, and frankly i am stumped. so
i am forwarding the message on to LI, in the hope that all the 'guru's out there may
be able to help.
"From: D V Sridharan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: linux help
the first time i tried everything went off well, i had the kde desktop running etc...
but i thought it was too slow... so tried a reinstall with fewer ops. - thats when the
wheels came off... the reinstall went well... but my old darling refuses to boot...
after the message "congratulations... remove media and restart" the screen prints LI-
and blinks... i tried rebooting with the boot disk prepared during install: this time
i type 'linux' or 'rescue' against the 'boot:' prompt and i get a series of errors,
like error 0x80 or 0x04 and the like... the process autocycles forever... what might
be happening? during reinstall, i configured the LILO to install the boot in 'hda1'
which is my harddisk... my pc is 'setup' to look at the floppy first and then the
hard-disk... and i tried setting up the reverse order too but no luck... i feel a good
copy of the os is sitting on the harddisk but the boot sector is not accessible...
some files from the cd-rom may have to be copied on t!
o !
the floppy to boot right: but which? or any other ideas to get going from where i am?
the machine is pc486, 16mb ram, 540mb hdd; partitions are 400mb for the root
and 119 for the swap; no dos part. "
please reply either to the list or to the email addresses.
thanx
Manish.
