------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-08 13:36 ------- I found what causes it by fiddling with the boot parameters (I have same problem). You need the enterprise kernel anyway for 1024MB as the distro one doesn't support so much memory. The 12mdk enterprise kernel doesn't blink those lights on keyboard anymore, but leaves them on. Screen still black and dead frozen. It boots ok only if you remove the vga=788 line from lilo.conf, run lilo and then boot. I have no clue whatsoever why the vga=788 works with 512MB but with 1024MB of ram it doesn't. :/ I have a ASUS A7V8X mobo and a Radeon 9700 Pro videocard. 2 PC333 mem modules of 512MB at CL 2.5. ------- 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: NEW creation_date: description: Hi, When installing Mandrake 9.1 RC1 on a computer with 1024MB (1 gig) of memory after the initial "install screen" the computer just dies and the caps lock and scroll lock start blinking. This is a showstopper for the installation! Tried on 2 setups: P4 2.5 with ati 9700 Asus p4pe and AMD 2000+ with nvidia ti4600 Asus a7v8x. Both motherboards (after previous failure) flashed with the newest (beta) Bios -> Same problem. Same setup with 512 MB works just fine. CU PacMan
