Hi,
Yesterday I tried installing Red hat Linux 6.1 (PC Quest distribution)
My PC configuration is : PIII 800 MHz, 64MB RAM, 20 GB HDD as
Primary Master, 52x CD drive as the
Sec. Master
540 MB HDD as the secondary slave.
Before starting the installation I disabled the Primary Master in the CMOS
setup.
(I didn't want to disturb the win98 on my new 20GB HDD !! I'm new to
Linux:-(
Selected the text installation option I chose English, PS/2 Mouse...
I created the following partitions : (all on the "hdd" ie., secondary
slave)
/boot --> 16MB
Linux swap --> 64MB
/ --> 200MB (with the option to grow)
Then I chose to write the LILO on the hdd boot record( 540MB HDD). When the
installation started to
format the hdd it terminated with signal 11 message. I repeated the
installation couple of
times but the same thing happened again.
Do you guys know the reasons for the above problem ? Is it the problem with
Red Hat 6.1 ?
Or should I have to have my 540 MB hard disk as the Primary Master ? Is
there any other
distribution of Linux available in Madras/Chennai (India) ? please give me
the contact points,
price..
Thanks,
Indukumar
