I am trying to install Redhat 9 on ASUS (A7N266-VM) Motherboard having AMD XP 2200+ (1.8Ghz) processor.
After installation the system freezes on:
"Finding module dependencies:"
I dont know how to go about getting my Redhat 9 to work. Its a dual boot with Windows. I am using LILO as my Boot-Loader. My keyboard locks up as well as I can't do Ctrl + C at that point.
Is there some specific kernel parameter required for AMD Systems?
Rupesh, I had similar problems with the same config but RH 8. I threw RH 8 away and tried Debain. I could get a workable shell but no X. After much frustration I tried Knoppix 3.1. Suprise, the system went live and was ready to use. X runs in the VESA mode but, it doesn't use the nVidia GeForce HW acceleration.
I suggest you do the following: 1. Get Knoppix 3.1 2. Boot with the following params: knoppix lang=en 3. Run knx-hdinstall. This uncompress the CD and dump executables on your HDD. X Should run now. Sound should work too :) 4. To use all the features of the MB go to nvidia.com and download the corresponding drivers for X and use them (I haven't tried this)
Alternatively, you can try running RH using drivers from nV (also untried).
This should get things running. If they don't you can always send me a message :).
Warm wishes,
