I hate to be so very persistent about this, but I had sent this to the list over the
weekend, and had not received any answers... since this is something I'd like to
rectify, I'm sending it again in an attempt to find a solution
Hi, I'm brand new to Linux, and have just recently installed Mandrake Linux version
7.0... a friend of mine had helped me install it, and then just left me here to figure
out what he's done... mostly, it's pretty cool with the exception of two things...
In text mode, my fonts are real small. In searching around I found a reference that
said to include in the lilo.conf file a line stating vga=normal or vga=ask... when I
try this, I still get the real small text... I had thought the ask option would
display the different modes and allow me to choose, but it never asks, it's always
real small...
and secondly, upon bootup, I get an error stating:
hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x80, count=2
ide0: reset: success
and then it sits there until I hit Ctrl-C... after hitting Ctrl-C I can still operate
the system...
Anyone know what I should do to resolve either of these? I'm on an Dell Celeron 686
with a TSeng ET6000 video card...
thanx
