I will try. Installing the new SuSE 8.0 prof IDE original main drive 30GB c= 9.7 GB d= 18.19 GB newly install second drive (hopefully jumpered as a slave) f=9.28 GB free space 494 MB g=14.65 GB h= 12.85 all running fat32 and they are all primary partitions. It just appears to go right thru the boot process but not start the cdrom booting. Even but in a Mandrake 8.1 in the cdrom and it booted right into 2k again. Guess not positive if drives are properly jumpered but they appear ok under Computer Management and all say healthy. Not sure the command I used to make the floppies but it started loading the kernel and then stopped and asked for something else. I think that was the module 1. Been thru so many scenarios can't remember them all. > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Scot Jenkins > Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 7:38 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Installing on Win 2k box > > > can you give us more info: > - what distro are you using? > - IDE or SCSI system? > - if IDE, what's the layout of the drives: > ex: primary master xxGB win2k > 2nd master IDE cdrom > primary slave xxGB (for linux) > 2nd slave none > - are the drives jumpered properly? > - what OS/command(s) did you use to create the floppies? > > Aside from that, we could help you at the next installfest. > > >
