to all, I have a SOLTEK motherboard that is giving problems. I have spent 3 hours running memtest and it gives a clean bill of health. This means that the CPU is OK and the MEMORY is OK I have run SEATOOLS on any hard disks that I will use in the system. This gives a clean bill of health also. Again, showing cpu,memory now HDD ok I have also run 'DBAN' on the drives and this also finds no problems. So... memory ok, ..cpu.. ok.. hard drives.. ok, and the ide controllers are ok. Now try to install any distro and the system crashes. The KB leds flash. OR the livd CD boots or not, but if so, then all can be fine until mounting partitions. I then get unable to mount UUID****. I can use fdisk or gparted or MCC to create partition with no problems.Then use mkfs.ext* to format the Drives/Partitions. The only trouble is mounting them, but not all partitions have the problem.At this point it is difficult to be precise. Any partition may mount or not and having tried to mount give the UUID problem. Further.. the problems are still there if a new IDE drive is used or if the drive is mounted USB Any ideas on what is going on. Gerald
