I am having problems installing Redhat 5.0
Hardware
Asus TX7 pentium mother board
Intel P54C 233MMX Mhz
64Mb EDO ram (72pin)
Diamon stealth 64 Vram with 4Mb
2 x 6Gb seagate IDE Ultra DMA hard disks (using 32bit fat)
3Com 3C590 combo ethernet card
Adaptec 2940 SCSI ultra wide controller
Seagate Travan 4/8Gb tape streamer
Dysan 32x IDE CD-Rom
Dysan 6x read / 2x write CD Rewriter
Genius netmouse
First question, should I have any problems using this hardware with Linux?
I have re-partioned my slave hard disk to leave 2Gb free
I run the redhat install. When it comes to the partitioning, I
select to use the "Druid". I make a Linux native partition of
1.948 Gb and swap partition of 62Mb. When I try continue
I get told their is no swap partition?? If I remove the swap
partition & then try continue, I get told I must make a swap
partition.
I then deceided to use the normal fdisk to make the particions.
This seemed to work fine. The install proceeds , I format the
partitions, I select virtually everything to install, and at the point
where I guess it should start copying the stuff from the CD, I get the
following error
"Mount failed:Invalid argument"
What am I doing wrong? How do I get around this?
Sorry if I am being too long winded.
