Hi there,
I'm new to linux and am trying to install it on my
Dell Dimension 8300.
I'm having some trouble though and am finding it
hard to get any help. I get the following lines on the initial
screen
hda: attached ide-disk driver.
hda: lost interrupt
hda: lost interrupt
hda: lost interrupt
hda: host protected area =>1
hda: lost interrupt
hda: 234375000 sectors (120000MB) w/8192KiB cache,
CHS=14589/555/63, UDMA(33)
hda: lost interrupt
hda: lost interrupt
Partition check:
hda: <4> hda: dma_timer and so
on
then I get to the actual installation screen and it
seems to hand on Disk detection.
I have successfully moved past on a prior attempt
to the partitioning section but the I get errors saying that it can't
partition.
I'm trying to install Mandrake 9.2
I also tried Red Hat 7.3 but didn't get past a
message saying
ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irq15 (which is the
secondary IDE)
it would just hang there.
Is there any advice you can give me?
Waiting Patiently
