I have been trying to get mandrake to install on a G4 PCI, this
is the only computer I have available to put mandrake on so I haven't
had any success yet. My computer's Configuration is as follows:
Ram: 256 MB
Hardware:
Model name: Power Mac G4 (PCI graphics)
|Machine speed: 400 MHz
Drives:
Internal ATA 1
ID = 0
Hard drive | Driver version:
3.2.6
Mac OS partitions:1 | Capacity: 9.55
GB
ID = 1
ID = 1
Hard drive | Driver version:
3.2.6
Mac OS partitions:2 | Capacity: 42
GB
Partition 1
Volume format: Mac
OS Extended (HFS+) | Capacity: 29 GB
Partition 2
Volume format: Mac
OS Extended (HFS+) | Capacity: 9 GB
Display card:
Card type: display | Card name: ATI
Rage128y
Card model: ATI Rage128 | VRAM size: 16
MB
Sorry about the length of that there, just giving all relevant
data.
Anyway, I have the ISO images burned on to 2 CDs. My goal is to
get mandrake to install on the 5GB that are remaining on the ATA 1 ID
1 45GB drive. I am able to boot of the CD either from open firmware or
by holding down the C key. The problem exists once I choose an install
type, no matter what type of install I chose it starts to load, then I
get the following as the text scrolls by. "Unable to handle
kernel paging request at virtual address 00001832 (error 42000000)"
shortly after followed by "Kernel Panic: kernel access of bad
area PC c00a44fc lr c0004c50 address 1832 tsh swapper /1". And
this is where I am stuck, any ideas?
