Hi I installed the mdk 8.2 on a laptop today, and I've been trough some troubles. The install works fine, both in recommended and in advanced modes.
The problem comes at first boot. The boot process stops at : Partition check : /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: I tried removing the devfs option, etc, no way to get it work. I tried with a personal debian kernel, it booted (without any modules). Then, i tried with the enterprise mdk kernel (with the initrd stuff etc), and it booted too. So the default mdk82 kernel has an option that makes that laptop fail in the boot process...but which one ? Anyway, the problem isn't at 'why doesn't it work' but it's "it does not work with that configuration". As the laptop is not mine, I don't have many informations about it : All I can do is write down what was written on it. It's a 'maxdata' laptop. Laptop informations : MAXDATA Computer GmbH & Co KG Elbestrasse 16 D-45768 Marl Artikel Nr.: 252792 s/n 30067620005 cord.n. : Maxdata VMX Typ : ArtNo : 330610 Modell : MAXDATA NB Vision 340C 12.1" TFT Voltage : == Model 6133 S/N : TN2A04009914 Anyway, it's too bad i couldn't access that laptop during the beta phase process :( +++ Stef
