Okay, tried it a different way: I made a "/" and a swap partition in Partition Magic, then started the R/L installation. Got to the "where to put Linux" section, and pointed it to the created partitions. Everything seemed fine, played my game of Mahjong (almost finished it)... and got the same thing when it loaded back up: "Starting Lizard.................FAIL" I hit alt-F1, and dropped the graphics, (last time I got a login prompt, but it didn't recognize the username & password I had entered). Hit alt-F3 (debug?), hoping for a prompt, and got the following: QT: Locales not supported on x server cannot add null widget to Q Box Layout/unnamed q.ComboBox:: Set current item: (unnamed) Index 3 out of range q string_to_xtp result code -2 checking that no one is using this disk right now... OK Warning: partition 1 does not start at a cylinder boundry If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1) to zero the first 512 bytes: dd if=1 dev/zero of =/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1 (see fdisk (8).) q string_to_xtp result code -2 Q Layout "unnamed" added to L Partition info "unnamed", which already had a layout. mke2fs 1.18, 11-NOV-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 couldn't open /mnt/install/col/data/pkgs - minimum.generic couldn't open /mnt/install/col/data/pkgs - standard.generic mount: /dev/hda3 already mounted or /mnt/root busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda3 is already mounted on /mnt/root/ mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /mnt/root/mnt/hda/ busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda/ is already mounted on /mnt/root/mnt/hda/ mount: /dev/hda5 already mounted or /mnt/root/mnt/hda5 busy according to mtab, /dev/hda5 is already mounted on /mnt/root/mnt/hda5 mount: /dev/hda6 already mounted or /mnt/root/mnt/hda6 busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda6 is already mounted on /mnt/hda6 QGDict:: hash string key: Invalid null key q string_to_xtp result code -2 debug: lizard finished with return val 139 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas???
