------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-27 17:07 ------- When the installation starts up, press F1, then type linux nomce noauto, and its should work fine, I had the same problem with a compaq 915CA Athlon 1800+ ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 beta 3 (dated 31.1.2003 17:30:28) to my Compaq EVO N1015v laptop. During the very beginning of the installation, the installation program seems to hang when enabling PCMCIA extension cards. The exact error message is "Bank 3: b40000000000083b at 00000001fc0003c8 Kernel panic: Unable to continue". (Screenshot available at http://www.sunpoint.net/~jhero/HPIM0182.JPG). Unfortunately I cannot access the log or kernel messages by pressing Alt-F3 or Alt-F4, because the whole system seems to hang and does not respond to any keys pressed. Compaq EVO N1015v has AMD Athlon Mobile XP 1500+, 256 Mb of RAM, ATI Mobility U1 display adapter, 20 Mb Fujitsu hard disk, Integrated network adapter (Windows XP recognizes as Realtek RTL8139 C+), and Winmodem (Conexant Intl HSFi V92 Mini PCI). I have also 3Com wireless card 3CRWE62092A connected to PCMCIA slot. It does not seem to help if I remove PCMCIA card before the installation. I tried to install both, in expert and in normal mode, but it does not seem to make any difference. I also tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 beta 3 from the same cd to my desktop PC, and it seems to go just fine (in that sense, there should not be anything wrong on the installation cd).
