Hi,
I have just subscribed to this list. I need help installing Core 2.
I am currently running RH 8.0 on a Dell Dimension XPS T600 with 640MB
of RAM. When I run the installation program, I get the intial screen
and the linux prompt. I call see all of the options, in other words I
can hit a function key and see the possible options. No matter what
options I choose on install the same thing happens.
It looks like it is starting to load the installation but all I get is
a blinking cursor in the upper lefthand of the monitor. I have tried
two separate sets of installation discs.
I can read the discs in RH 8.0 and even try to install packages, of
course I get errors because of the version of the kernel is incorrect.
I have no idea where to go from here. I am an extreme newbie.
What I have tried.
linux text
linux noprobe
linux text noprobe
linux acpi=off (one of my friends suggested this...)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry if
this request is not well put together, I am still learning.
Thank you.
