i have PII 300 64 MB RAM intel 440 LX mother board
20GB SAMSUNG HDD PRIMARY MASTER
4.3 GB SEAGATE HDD SEC MASTER
SAMSUNG SAMTRON 55V 15" Monitor
and TRIDENT 3DIMAGE975 AGP WITH 4MB VRAM

I have installed linux 6.2 from pc quest on
2 GB logical partition on second hard disk

I am not able to configure loadlin, I get kernel 
panic error. loadlin used to work when i had only one hdd. 
now it displays some message that your linux is on second partition
though i give proper parameters like hdc7


also, 

I can not configure X windows.

my video card is detected properly. but the things don't work
somehow. I tried all possible combinations.

i tried Xconfigurator, setup and xf86config to configure x windows.

when i do startx i can see the desktop, even the first 
screen and icon start appearing and then suddenly monitor 
displays vertical bands which we see on telivision when 
there is no signal and machine hangs.

Even with SUSE 6.1 i get same problem. However with 
suse yast and Xconfigsetup, x windows loads properly for minimal settings.
but all applications crash when i try to use them. 
i can not run any application in gui mode.


I was able to to use x windiws with redhat 6.1 from pcq with 
above configuration, but i had only oneseagate hdd and tvm monitor 
instead of new advanced samtron monitor.

I would be really thankful if any one can suggest a remedy.
