Hi all,
I've borrowed the above (Acer Extensa 501DX, P233, 3Gb) laptop to use as
a sandbox with RedHat 6.1 prior to putting it my own laptop.
The RH install process reports success all the way through, but on
booting the new install I get a gpf pretty much as soon as the kernel
comes up. Anyone got any idea what might cause this, and what the hell
I can do about it?
I'm loath to install on my real machine till I've had a play on another
one, you see. In the meantime, I've just put Windows back on it, but
that won't boot now either, which is a pity cos I've either got to buy
it or return it with Windows on in a week! It now comes up with a
"LIL-" prompt (no typo) and then nothing will happen, which rather
implies that the MBR is up the spout. Anyone got any ideas on that
either?! I've never come across an install process that doesn't
correctly handle the MBR.
Any and all thoughts gratefully received.
Justin.
