Hello All,
I'm in need of some guidance installing RH 9 on my new BOX
(Prescott3.0 1mb cache ,asus P4P800
Deluxe MOBO, ATI Radeon 9700 128MBvRAM. 512 MB Crucial paired 256 MB
sticks
PC3200 dual channel System Ram, HD = WD120 7200 8MB used as Primary IDE
Master. Pioneer
107* 8X DVD-RW. Master secondary IDE. I have pulled all other system
hardware for now. I was able to install Fedora Core OK but am not
impressed
with it. I have been using RH 9 and 7.2 for years on a p3 900 Box set up
as
DNS,MAIL,WEB,SAMBA,FTP server as well as my workstation and never had
any
problems that I couldn't intuitively figure out. I decided to install RH
9 on
my new box after be very unimpressed with FC. When I have tried to
install from ISO CD's I start to install
and get hung up during hardware probing (even when I use rescue and
noprobe)
It comes to my IDE settings and finds IRQ 11 twice then freezes.
Naturally I
went into the Bios and have tried numerous different manipulations to
how my
drives are set up and their IRQs are set. All to no avail. It is most
likely
something any newbie could catch. I feel stupid asking but the only dumb
question is the one unasked.
Any Ideas would be much
appreciated. (I think Fedora is still on the machine but will not boot
). I
tried mandrake 10.0 also and come up with the same problem .So, I assume
this is a hardware issue I just haven't been able to get things setup
right
?????and am driving myself nuts in the process. I've been Linux
dependent
for years now and never run into such difficulties.
Thank you in advance.
