Linux installation problems

<< < (2/3) > >>

hnugz:
Theres just a bunch of machine code or whatever, i mean the 0459F94c kinda stuff along with what looks like a bunch of registers.  One other thing, if i just hit enter to begin the install my screen just goes black and i have to reboot.  If i start with "lowres"  thats then i get this error message.  This couldn't be because of my video card though could it?  I have used to different ones in there, a voodoo3 and rivatnt2, both which give the same message.

Master of Reality:
to find out if it is your video card try intalling in text mode.

voidmain:
Also, are you sure the CD-ROM jumpered correctly? Try setting it up as the Master device on the secondary IDE channel. I've heard people would have problems if it wasn't jumpered correctly (it may appear to read the disk just fine, just not install properly). Also, try using an install floppy (you should find install floppy images on the CD and instructions). Should only need one floppy to boot the kernel and then it will do the rest of the install from CD.

hnugz:
Great, thanks for all the info.  I'll try that stuff out.
