Hi
IT boots from the cd fine, then it tells me that there is no cd. I have tried alt1 with or without option. I went on the ftp to get extra boot floppy image (I do have an external usb floppy) same thing. Anyway to get 10.2 to find the CDrom. I have tried with 10.1 and it is the same problem.
I don't want to do a network install. By the way Fedora 3 works

Andre; Mandrake's kernels are built differently than Fedora's. You might need to pass some options to the kernel in order to get it to boot for your install.


When you boot from the first CD, press F1 at the first install panel (It gives you a choice between pressing F1 or 'Enter', and this will take you to a console.

At the prompt, type in the following;

linux noapic nolapic noapm

Press 'Enter' and see if that does the trick.

Also, you should see if you can disable APIC in your system's BIOS. Once the install is finished, you can re-enable APIC in the BIOS if needed.
