I have the same problem. I've tried to install RedHat 4.2/5.0, Debian
1.3/2.0, Suse 5.1/5.2 and it never works. I've also tried with different
disks (all IDE): Master/Slave/Slave, Master/Slave, Master... and it always
stops in the same place:
hda:.....
hdb...... (which is the cdrom)
hdd.....
My setup is
Pentium MMX 200
2xIDE harddisks (4.3 GB and 2.5)
1 IDE cdrom drive
64 MB
I've asked this question in hundreds of places (including Debian lists) and
only had an answer about specifying hard disk parameters to LILO. I tried
it, but still stops in the same place. Because of this error, I can use
Linux only on a 386 (well with 20 MB RAM, 2.5 GB hard disk, but still a 386,
so I cannot flavour completely the power of Linux).
Marcus, if you've got an answer from a different place, please tell me,
since sometimes I feel desperated for not being able to use Linux on this
machine, which would be a great thing.
