Peter,
It makes no difference whether hardrives are set to be RAID, IDE or
ACHI. I have installed from this DVD to another identical machine (with
RAID 1) step up without this difficulty.
If I try the two options you noted below, it still shuts down. If I
try a text install, the same. If I use 'linux noprobe' then there is no
way for me to get to the ide DVD play installed - the BIOS does see this
and reports is okay.
To rule out any problems with usb, I switched to a PS/2 keyboard and
unpluged the USB mouse.
It shutsdown if I try 'linux mediacheck'. etc.
I am stumpted. The BIOS version is identical to the other machine
which is running and I have tried reproducing the identical BIOS
settings without luck. For that reason I don't see any reason to try
and upgrade the BIOS.
I am stumped - - - and I have already wasted far too much time including
returning one motherboard because I thought it was defective.
Anyone have any other ideas. I will not be back to this till tomorrow
evening, and then I am on call both Friday and Sunday so they are shot.
Looks like this new server may never see the light of day.
Thanks again,
Bob
