Re: No installation on new hardware

Darn. It isn't working as expected. This is the first time in, well,
ever, that the installation does not work. I have several ISOs burned.
32 and 64 bit KDE live, Net 64 bit and DVD 64 bit.

There is no real difference between them. The following happens:

The bios recognises all drives. CD and DVD player, 2 IDE drives, 2 SATA
drives, 2 PCI card IDE drives.

When I boot from the HD that I had in my old PC, it boots and gives some
error about USB and goes to /bin/sh. I fully expect it not to go to GUI
and I would have expected some errors about partitons. However none of
that. At least it boots I am just unable to do much with it.

The next I tried is booting from disk. It boots anf loads the kernel.
After that the screen goes black. I have tried the differnt kernel
options and the same thing happens.

I then tried textmode and the first time it hung with some sata driver,
so I dsabled sata. Then it hung with USB and that is when I noticed the
time and called it a day.

I will try again tolorrow and give lore details about errors. Now I am
too tired to think of a solution.


I had problems with some mobos mixing SATA and PATA drives. Bios likes
to boot one or the other. OS's don't see both drives. Keep them
separate. For instance on a PCChips I have Windoz 2000 on the PATA and
OpenSuSE on the SATA. Which I have first in the bios is the one that boots.
