Here's my problem: I've got an older pc (Asus Cusi-M) with Celeron(1100MHz), 500MB RAM. As I tried to boot the installation-dvd (which works with nearly every other distribution, e.g.ubuntu does and is installed) it hanging directly after starting isolinux. it shows me a boot> prompt and wants to know the kernels name. It also says for normal installation, I only need to hit return to boot, but nothing happens. not frozen but always asking-a-new about the kernel stuff. So here is my question: Which are the correct kernel parameters to pass to the live-kernel from dvd? I tried: vmlinuz0 root=/dev/ram0 but thats not enough info I guess... It reacts with a kernel-panic-message, no root was found (or sth.like.that) and displays 16 ram-adresses in a table (/ram0 to /ram15). Does anyone know, what to do? I can add, that my mainboard has always problems with booting bigger devices. For a linux-installation (of every kind) I need to install an a seperate boot-partition (not more than 8000MiB harddisk is allowed by bios). and root on another partition. So I think there's nothing I can do about this bios-outdate-problem. But if I can pass the right boot-parameters to the live-kernel, I believe it should work... While it's highly unlikely to solve your problem - the first thing to do is to verify the integrity of your install CD (or DVD). There is an option to check your CD at the begining of the install process.........gary -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
