Hi,
I am facing following problems while installing Fedora 4 on my machine.
1 Probem:
When I start the machine with CD#1, I get boot: promt. If I hit enter to proceed installation it starts checking machine resorces. Here it gives me this error followed by some exception trace.
***
RAMDISK: couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
VFS: couldn't open root device or unknown block "NULL" or (8,3)
***
After this messages it prints out some exception trace.
If I enter some invalid value at boot: promp like "/" and enter, it gives error that not a valid boot image. After this it shows again boot: prompt. Not if I hit enter it proceed with instllation and doesnt give above error message (problem#1 error).
2 Problem:
a# After this I went ahead and selected drives for / and swap through disk druid. I had prepared these partitions through partition magic.
b# I selected boot loader to be installaed on /dev/hda4 (Linux partition) and kept default starting os as windows partition.
c# I went ahead and selected custom packages to be installed. It asked me for all the cds one by one as installation made progress.
d# After completing the packages installation and post installation tasks it displayed a message box stating "Installing bootloader". Here it went wrong. It was showing me hour-glass mouse icon but I guess it was hung. It didnt give me any error message. Finally after waiting for a long time I restarted the machine and my windows os started w/o showing Fedora Grab loader window.
e# I thought it couldnt write bootloader on the /dev/hda4 linux partition as it physically appears in the end of my hard-disk. So i repeated the whole procedure by selecting boot loader installation on MBR (step b#). But this couldnt resolve the problem and I found the same result.
Can anybody explain the reason behind these two problems? Also any solution to get Fedora core 4 installed on my machine without formatting existing windows partitions.
The System Details:
MB : Intel D865GVHZ
CPU : Intel P4 2.4 GHZ
H-DISK : Samsung 80 GB (Linux ext2 "/" and swap partitions lies at the end of the physical hard-disk)
RAM : 256 + 256 Total 512 MB

thanks .
I will learn linux with my resources and then only
trouble this noisy group again.
To me it sounded like a lot of irrelevant chattering.
May Be, it is very useful to the posters and current readers.

Hi..
I tried acessing the lug site at
www.ilug-bom.org.in
but i get a message that www.ilug-bom.org.in couldnt be found.. Does anybody
else also have simliar problems with the this domain name.. I tried the
other domain
www.glug-bom.org
that works fine.. but i think the photos are still under a subdomain of the
old domain name
db.ilug-bom.org.in
As for the connection details, currently I am in delhi using an
airtel(landline) 128 Kbps connection. I also tried on Internet Exploder but
to no avail..

People, when replying to mails, please take a little time to make your
fellow luggers' lives a little less difficult. Refrain from overquoting
and sending me-too mails.
Overquoting happens when you include a very large number of lines from
the original mail just to include one or two lines of your own at the
bottom. Your lines will almost certainly get lost. It's better to
delete everything that is irrelevant to your reply, including old
signatures and headers.
Me-too mails happen when you reply to a reply for the sole purpose of
saying 'me-too'. Do this only in the case of a poll, and not in any
other case. If you do it, make sure you do not overquote.
Standard rules of top-posting, upside down quoting, and long lines also
apply. If you're not sure what they mean, search the net.
Thanks,
Philip
