Hi everybody,
well I got some trouble with RedHat 6.0; possibly is a bug? . I install it
without any problem in my computer but yesterday I tried with my friends
and it failed.
Here is my friend computer configuration.
CPU AMD Athlon 1000MHz
IDE Generic hard disk, 40GB; two partition already, one in Drive
C: installed Windowz ME, and other free, D each one takes half.
VIA Game port joystick
VIA midi external port
VIA PCI Audio controller
VIA sound system
Video card: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 62
Monitor PHILIPS 107S
Conexant SoftK56 (HSF modem)
basically like that.
The prolem is the fdisk (or disruid) can not recognize the type of
partition. After I select disk ruid ; it says error: No such file a
directory. I press back and try fdisk, but the same thing.
How can I get through this step to proceed the installation? I can not
think out teh way to work around. Well I tried to start using my custom
boot disk (using kernel 2.2.16) and everything is okay, I can run fdisk
and it can detect the hard disk and partition table too, the only thing it
complains the cylinder over 1024, so Lilo may get trouble, that is
all. Of cource it is not RedHat installation disk so I can not install
RedHat using this..
I need any advice , pls help; Anyone has the same problem? Anyone having
the same configuraiton and is successfull? I intend to use RedHat 7.0 but
afraid that it may happen again and I think, the installation is not so
flexible enough to work around it. The only thing I could think out at the
moment is to use looplinux, a small customized version based from
Slackware and after that install the rest from Slackware package. As it is
very customizable to install looplinux, (Kent Robotti is the author); I
just put a kernel and use loadlin to load it and extract the looplnx.tgz
to a partition, edit some configuration file .... ; sure it works as my
boot disk works so on, but I wish to install RedHat.
Thank you very much for your time to read.
Steve
