Hi, I'm back with some more A big thank you to Dinesh here. My wish to own an AMD machine has come true. (AMD Semp 2500+ with ASUS K8S-MX). Now 2 Linux distros have failed to install .. FC4 which came with this month's Chip DVD just keeps rebooting. I see the second line Reading initrd.... and kaboom Next it was Debian 3.1- Now here I get a weird error that failed to mount CDROM. I have used the same drive to install the same distro on another machine. It is booting from the CD but a modprobe command fails look like. In the end I was forced to put in Win2K and needless to say it installed fine (maybe I need more Linux installs under my belt)
What's up with this ?
Thanks, Gishu Pillai

Regarding you installation problem with FC4, try the following...
When booted off the first CD, type 'fubar' and enter. It will give you an error and bring you back to the boot prompt. Press enter again. This has been known to work.

typing "garbage" at the command prompt and pressing enter will too solve the problem

Did you try knoppix? Give it a whirl. The hardware you have isn't out of this world. It must work! BTW FC4 stock kernel is a bit buggy. It locks up on a popular chipset like intel 865. As for debian, well it shows weird problems where other distros don't. Have you tried slackware? Try a few more distros.
BTW just I finished downloading the latest knoppix distro. Time to toast! :)
