I've had a dual boot, dual-hard drive system for about a year now and it's worked without a hitch until recently.
Linux started to lock up at different stages about a month or so ago. sometimes when it's first booting, sometimes after I've logged in under a user account. Windows 98, which runs on a separate harddrive, runs fine. I've tried reinstalling linux, locked up. I got redhat 8.0, locked up. I got a new cable for the harddrive, locked up. I bought a new harddrive, locked up. most frustratingly, it usually locks up AFTER i've gone through disk druid and set up a bunch of partitions on the new drive. then at some point, it either freezes up on its own, or right after I click something. and after all this, Windows 98 still boots fine from the other harddrive. Short of calling Penguin Computing and buying a new system, does anyone have any cheaper ideas? This is turning into an expensive Linux experiment. I keep wondering if its my motherboard, but since windows runs, I've been hoping there's a cheaper solution. Any diagnostic suggestions?
