I can install Debian vanilla and Linux Mandrake 8.2, but not Mandrake above 8.2, i.e. 9 or 10.1 even Knoppix won't run.
With vanilla, i can't get mdadm to work because it says it needs ver 0.9 of ( can't remember ) but it's not in the kernel and i want it to run a pair of ( 4 drive ) IDE Raid 1's. The system has 1 CD SCSI cd writer at id:0 ( 50pin cable ) - Terminated 1 Dat drive at id:1 ( 50pin cable ) 1 Dat drive at id:2 ( 50pin cable ) 1 Scsi 9g at ID:3 ( 68pin cable ) - Terminated 1 Scsi 9g at ID4 ( 68pin cable ) the card is at id:7 I've tried a different 50 pin cable and terminator and a different cd drive, tried with everything but the cd drive disconnected. I can't see it being hardware, because, as i said, i can install vanilla and Linux mandrake 8.2 :o( -----Original Message----- From: Ken Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 August 2005 6:13 pm To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Debian hangs at 5% on install ??
