ipax 0 Posted August 16, 2004 Good day, I have any problem. I can install Mandrake 9.0 into my notebook (compaq nx9010), where W xp is running. If I insert the first install disk into drive and restart my machine, I`ll see the Mandrake install dialog box. So I press enter key to start the instalation. Then the instalation control my hardware and then the process cut. Screen looks like: .... ....hda:DMA... .... hda:IC25N040ATMR04-0, ATA DISK drive .... Partion check: hda: and in this place cursor is blinking. I don`t know where is problem. I have reserved a free place in hard disk to install Linux and problem isn`t on the install cd side (on another PC the install process ending successfully). Please help me. Thank you.

martouf 0 Posted August 16, 2004 the installation disc should offer a 'safe mode' or 'failsafe mode' bootloader selection very early on in the install process. select it. you probably need the 'noapic apm=off acpi=off' kernel parameters. Share this post Link to post
