I'm having some install problems on my new system. I'm trying to install KnoppMyth (a variant of Knoppix that is based on Debian, as I understand it), and I get an error that says: "hde: lost interrupt" when I try to install. I've had Windows XP running on the same setup, but I'm not very well versed in Linux to figure out what the problem may be. Here are a few of my specs:
AMD Athlon XP processor Gigabyte K7NNXP motherboard IDE Primary channel: empty (is this okay??) IDE Secondary: 16x DVD-ROM SATA Primary: 160GB Serial ATA HDD (it is connected to serial power, not legacy power, although it has both connectors... it says to only connect to one connector, but maybe linux is confused that the legacy power is unplugged. Again, it works great in Windows XP, but it won't install linux. When I let it sit for a while (and it does take a long while), it correctly identifies my hard drive, but it continues getting the hde: lost interrupt error when I try to install it to that disk. Ideally, I'd like to partition the drive to have a Linux partition and a smaller Win XP partition, but I'm willing to experiment with just Linux to start with. My best guesses so far are to disconnect serial power from the power supply and use a legacy connector (the one that looks the same as for an IDE drive) or to tweak with something in the BIOS. When I installed Win XP, I had to create a floppy disk with some drivers in order for it to recognize a Serial ATA HDD. Would I have to do something similar in Linux? Thanks in advance for your help. --Alex Baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
