Can someone please help I have been stuck for days.

[Mathew S. Nowend]

I should have mentioned also that I am trying to install FC3 (which I get
the eth0 lock up) and or  FC2 (which I get the modprobe: Fatal Error: Error
inserting floppy c/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko:No
such device). The hardware that I am trying to install this on is a Dell
Inspiron 8600 Pentium M 1.8ghz 2 gigs of RAM 60 gig hd (with xp partition)
broadcom 10/100 NIC broadcom 56k modem sgimatel audio cdrw/dvd  combo drive
and a modular floppy that can also be used by USB cable  I have a nvidia
gforce fx go5200 64 meg video card and a 15.4 wuxga screen. Due to the lack
of ports on my laptop I am plugged into a port replicator and I have tried
both installs with and without being plugged into the port replicator.  Hope
this information is helpful.

Thanks

Mathew

I installed FC3 and it installs fine.  Upon reboot it completely locks up on
eth0.  I was told it was normal for it to hang a little bit then it would
time out and the installation would continue.  Well instead when the
installation gets to that point the machine completely locks up.  I let the
machine “hang” for over 1 ½ hours and finally had to power down and reboot
the system.  My nic card is plugged into a cable modem and I have tried the
install with and without it plugged into the modem.  Anybody with anybody
ideas?  When I go back to FC2 I get a completely different error upon
install modprobe: Fatal Error: Error inserting floppy
c/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko:No such device So I
am really stuck either way I go.. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

 

Thanks 


Mathew
