Hi all!
I've been trying to install Linux (Suse, Debian, RedHat...) in a Pentium MMX
200 with 3 hard disks and a cdrom, but with either distribution, the boot-up
process hangs up in the same place (never mind whether started from DOS boot
disk, Linux boot disk, cdrom...). This is the output I get:
I tried last night to set up everything as <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said yesterday,
that is:
controller 0, device 0: harddisk, STANDALONE
controller 1, device 0: harddisk, MASTER
controller 1, device 1: cdrom, SLAVE
And now, the boot-up process hangs up a step forward. Now it shows:
