acmiddleton : 07/08 04:46 : Incident created Hitting F1 following reboot (see my last ticket), just resulted in a pure blue screen. I hit ESC a couple of times and got some text, but I'm pretty sure the system is locked up (keyboard beeps now when I type any key, fan turned on, indicating CPU is in tight loop). My system: Dell Latitude C600/C500, 1Ghz PIII, 256M SDRAM, 14.1 SXGA display, 8x CDRW, Win2k/8.1 Mandrake dual boot. Had a compact flash plugged in, as well has ethernet cable. BIOS is up to date. This problem is repeatible. Good news: I rebooted, and this time tried just installing rather than upgrading linux, after a few boot messages, the GUI resumed. Everything from this point worked fine: I just set my mount point, picked packages, but did a cancel and went back and mounted /home because I forgot, and the install worked fine, though at the end of the first time wizard, when the browser was invoked, the size was wrong, and it looked confusing. -----end quoted text-----
