Hello again,<br>
<br>
Well I installed the complete installation (or almost all of it) and I
had problems like last time,<br>
even though not in the same frequency, however, still things aren't
quite right.<br>
<br>
Here is some of my commentary I wrote to myself while the installation
process was going on:<br>
<br>
problem with samba... on disk 1 (device error or media error)<br>
reboot with refresh...<br>
kde-i18n-Swedish-3.1.4-1 ... disk 3 (device error or media error again)<br>
reboot with upgrade...<br>
didn't pick up kde-18n-Swedish-3.1.4-1 .. on disk 3<br>
did not copy kernel to boot area<br>
Had to create a boot floppy<br>
booted up ...<br>
kudzu found:<br>
found generic ps/2 mouse ...<br>
found ESS Solo-1 Audio drive...<br>
found silicon Moition, inc sm720 lynx 3dm<br>
ddc probe returned bogus...<br>
trying lynx generic<br>
found VIA Tech|USB<br>
<br>
bunch of DMA interrupt errors on hard drive /dev/hda<br>
rebooted again...<br>
try to upgrade again....<br>
<b>what is force lba32? (Can anyone tell me why you would set this?)</b><br>
problem with a file....<br>
turn off bios hdd block mode and disabling VGA bios shadowing<br>
The Fedora installation program wanted to install:<br>
aspell<br>
xterm<br>
compat-db<br>
<b>Got this again "no kernel package were installed on your system.
Your boot loader configuration will not be changed....."<br>
WHy am i getting this? How do I install the OS kernel, does LILO not
exist anymore. If I need to use GRUB then how <br>
do I do it?<br>
</b>dma errors again...<br>
dma error = 0x84<br>
status = 0x51<br>
<br>
startx<br>
<br>
<b>timed out waiting for frame 0</b><br>
sometimes X server would lose connection or some such nonsense.<br>
<br>
<br>
So there you go.... I bolded those items that need to be fixed so any
help appreciated.<br>
<br>
Also how do I post install files that weren't picked up from CDs?<br>

everyone,
<br>
<br>
Thanks for all the input I received! This is what I learned:
<br>
1) When you have 128 MB of SRAM and the on-board video takes 16 MB
of it you
<br>
can't do X windows (i.e. Graphical installation)
<br>
2) It is key to burn as slow a CD as possible. In my case it
works ok with 4X speed.
<br>
<br>
I tried a minimal installation on an older disk I had laying around and
I am very happy to say
<br>
we have life! I will now purge myself of that Windows 2000
installation and build an everything
<br>
installation. I am confident that it will be fine!
