while installing mandrake 10.1, I got this error message: something about it not being able to find an ide device which to load to , (parport_pc, "imm", "ppa interfaces"). But when looking in the hardware devices listed, I could find nothiing familiar and or devices; the harddrive I'm supposing - rite? :shock:
You are right about one thing. It is a hardware problem. First I would suggest if using 10.0 try 10.1. If seems to be better and have less problems w/hardware. Do you have a SATA hard disk? what other IDE drives do you have?
i get the same ****ing problem! i dont know wats went wrong!
Hey guys I am new to Linux. My friend reccommended me to have one. I downloaded the 3-Disc Mandrakelinux from the website. But when I tried to install it, nothing happens. There is an option that says install MandrakeLinux but whenever I click on it, nothing seems to happen. Can someone help me please because I am excited about using a different operating system. Thanks
you did boot with the cd ?
Yeah I did boot from the CD. Whenever I restarted my laptop, XP loads up instead of the CD. When my laptop finally boots up and I load my CD-ROM, the welcome page appears and whenever I click on install, nothing happens
I have the same kind of problem : nothing happen from the graphic install. I booted with the CD, a caracter version of install runs for a while then asks me for "Additional Drivers Floppy",, which I don't have and then went bersek and crashed.
For flashy 01 : there must be an option in your XP system enabling to boot from CD, else it never starts from it.
Is there a big problem with laptop compaq (mine is an armada 1592 DT) and Mandrake ??
Ok does anyone knows how to boot from a CD on XP then pls?
Enter the BIOS before XP loads, do this with eithre Del, or F1 or Esc when starting to boot.Quote:
