I've started a new string taking the
suggestion of Robert
"We are
communicating via a "hijacked" thread hat was started 'way
back in March and with a decidedly non-informational subject. If you don't have a breakthrough, why don't you start a new thread with a subject that is likely to interest more people." anyway I tried booting
the installation cd in default mode again this morning, problem still persists,
anyway I'm not experiencing any kernel panic like yesterday but the computer
reboots while the installation is doing a media check, not at a particular point
during the media check but any point. sometimes it reboot at 27%, sometimes at
12%, I tried the memtest86 and waited till it passed once, I couldn't find any
problem, What do you think the problem could be?
I have 2 hard drives in
my computer, one is for windows and one is empty where I'm planning to install
Fedora, the windows hard drive is set as primary master and the linux harddrive
is set as primary slave and my cdrom drive is set as secondary master, Is
this setup conflicting in anyway with the Installation? I have a new cdrom drive
so a possibility for it to fail is rare. I'm practically stumped at the moment.
I have no idea what to do. why is it rebooting?
I hope I get some answers
thanks and regards
Oais
PS: My configuration is
PIII-450 MHz
256Mb SDram
3dfx voodoo3 16Mb
2 Seagate HDDs 20Gb(windows), 8Gb (for
fedora)
sony 52X cdrom drive
TVS 101 keyboard
iball optical mouse
Samsung Samtron 75m(E) 17"
monitor
I'm not sure about my mother
board,
it says its a 6ZX2 mother board with
an intel i440 zx chipset.
Hope this info is
sufficient.
