mike180 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 (edited) After nine(9) or ten(10) tries, I finally got PCLinuxOS 5 to install to my hard drive. Iam not sure if the nopcmcia command was the trick or if it was after partitioning and formatting letting it write to fstab then install and writeting(sp?) fstab again.Anyway: System InformationGigabyte GA-8LD533-C-P Mrico ATXform factor 4 Layer PCB MotherBoardCPU Intel Celeron 2GHz w/768MB DDR-2700 Ram FSB OC to 279MHzOnboard 845GL 8Mbs Shared (to start the built-in 128DDR 8xAGP).

Owyn Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Tx Mike.Sorry you had problems with the HD install. I will post a new HD install tip later today. Sorry again, but I would like you to retry the install after the tip is posted.Why are you using "nopcmcia" boot option?Glad to see your DVD is working now. There was a reason that it was the first tip I posted. I knew using synaptic and using DVDs were both going to be hot topics.Could you also post the results of$ dmesg | grep CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 hi OwynI am following the PClinuxOS tips so I can try to install PCLinuxOS on the 10GB linux formatted space. I assume the HD install tip will be in this thread. I have printouts from the PC site and additional information from ATL. Have read them and still a little apprehensive in jumping in but wish to give it a tryOne of the messages I read today was getting Mandrake 9.2 added to the lilo.conf. I believe the information I have might work, but will need a little direction Glad to see your DVD is working now. There was a reason that it was the first tip I posted. I knew using synaptic and using DVDs were both going to be hot topics. This information has given me a "jump start" in installing PCLinuxOS being able to watch movie DVD's on LinuxA side issue, what does this colour scheme represent in lilo.. wb:bw:wb:bw...... I gather it is the colours , but what are they and how do they display a rough guess white and black ????Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike180 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Wish I had done a HD install to hdb instead of hda with my win98se; had a bad block and ended up losing the whole drive. After a Low Level format, I am now re-installing everything. This time I will install PCLinuxOS-5 to hdb and let win98se keep hda to its self. Seems like such a waste.NEVERMINDMake it totally LINUX MIKE180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigggl Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Owyn, would you like an i820 chipset motherboard for the test and do I need to go through the hard drive install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
