Hi everyone,
I'm a new Mandrake user from over in the SuSE-world, and I'm having trouble
getting Mandrake to install properly. The main problem I'm encountering, is that
it seems that the boot loader is never installed. When it gets to the step to
install it, it simply says "Can't divide HASH by zero", and if I click okay it
goes onto X-config. Perhaps it's my odd partition setup:
hda1 [/boot for suse 15 megs]
hda2 [Windows 98 9 gigs]
hda3 [Linux Extended]
hda5 [Mandrake 1.4 gigs]
hda6 [Linux Swap 133 megs]
hda7 [SuSE Linux 6 gigs]
However I tried telling Mandrake to overwrite my /boot (for SuSE - hda1), and
it wouldn't install it that way either. To make matters worse, it refuses to write
to my diskette drive to create a boot disk - leaving no way to boot the system
(under "Expert" however, I can get it to write a copy of the installation settings
to disk).
I haven't encountered these problems with SuSE, RedHat, QNX, or Caldera Linux
Technology Preview (which, by the way, I previously had installed in the same
partition I now have Mandrake in).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim
PS: I'm using the ISO image for disc one of LM only, not the "extended" CD too.
Merry Christmas to you from Universal Networks!
