Hi, Happy New Year! I tried to install Red Hat Linux 9.1 and FC3 to Dell
Dimension 8400 which I purchased recently. Both systems show the same error
message “No Device Found”. I understand this is a very common
issue in installing Linux. The configurations of Dell Dimension 8400 are
as follows: Intel Pentium 4 processor 550 (3.4 GHz) w/HT technology and
1MB cache; Intel 925XExpress Chipset; 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533 MHz; 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (WDC WD 2500JD-75HBB0, 7200 RPM); 19” M993 Monitor (RADEON X300 display adaptor); Philips DVD+-RW DVD8631; Samsung DVD-ROM SD-616E; 3.5” Floppy Drive; Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Network Controller. I need advice on if this system is supported by FC3.
If no, what are the major issues? SATA hard drive or the Chipset? If yes,
what are the solutions? By the way, I used the windows XP home edition to partition
the hard drive into 3 partitions: 170 GB as NTFS which is installed as Windows
XP Home Edition; 30 GB as FAT32 and 30 GB as FAT32. I also tried to
boot the Linux in Rescue mode from the CD and used FDISK to look at the
partitions. Unfortunately, the FDISK does not recognize the hard drive. Thanks, Hong |
