<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I installed a second hard disk for Fedora, and
though I got through the first part of the install, "something's terribly
wrong"... :-(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As the system was shutting down I got a screenful
of messages saying rpmdb error (I forget the exact text)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When it boots up for "first boot", it doesn't go
into the graphical boot.... and after all the "starting...[OK]" messages a
message: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The second hard disk is "slave" with the cdrom is
"master. The other hard disk is master on the primary channel</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The machine bios recognizes the new hard
disk....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have I done anything obviously stupid/silly? Should
both hard disks be on the same channel and leave the cd by itself?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, one error during install... I tried to create
a boot diskette, but it got an error when trying to write to the disk.... I
tried two different diskettes, then proceeded without a boot
diskette.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
