Hello,
I bought Linux-Mandrake 6.1 a year or two ago and am now
trying to install it on my PC. I've gone through the installation process
described in the manuals I received. According to the install program,
everything went okay. However, when I reboot my computer for the first
time after the install to get into Linux, my computer ends up freezing.
This occurs after I type "linux" at the LILO boot prompt. Below is exactly
what my computer screen shows after I type in "linux":
LILO boot:
linux
boot: linux
Loading linux............
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the
kernel.
'blinking cursor'
'blinking cursor' is what the computer does when it
freezes. My prompt just blinks and blinks. I've tried installing the
OS several times using the same process and this still occurs. As a
thought on my part, one time I even slected "linear mode" as a startup parameter
but that did not help at all.
I would love any help that I could get on this
matter. If you would, please let me know if you cannot answer my question
for whatever reason so I can look for the answer elsewhere. Thank you
for any and all of your time!
