Dear Luggies ,
I am facing strange Problem with installation of "RedHat Linux 9.0 ". When I try to install on home pc it install completely and then finally evenry thing goes right when i try to boot in to it --- It reboots .
I have tried Grub (as per default) and then Lilo and also XOSL but same thing . Lilo Showed me the error Boot Error . Also When I tried to boot from win98 OS using Loadlin it showed me surprising the installation procedure again . and if i continue it . It asked me again for Installation Media.
I have Successfuly installed "RedHat Linux 9.0 " on same HDD at my office . but it fails at Home .
============================ INFORMATION ============================
At office i used ~~~~~~~~~~ Amdk6 + 128MB RAM + Ausus M/B + 20 GB HDD
At home ~~~~~~~~~~~ P2 +64MB RAM + Intel M/B + 20 GB HDD
Partion info ~~~~~~~~~ HDA1-win98 [5GB] HDA2-extened HDA3-Linux natuive HDA4-Linux Swap HDA6-win98-Vfat-space
Boot Loader is on MBR
Any Solution ?
Waiting for ur reply :-)

Hi Sachin,
you have office machine as AMDK6 and at home its P2.. so i think you need to recompile the kernel for x86 architecture.
The exisiting kernel doesnt get loaded on to memory, i faced similar problems while i tried to install linux on a P4 and then move the HDD on a P100 machine.
Re-Compiling the Kernel is the only option and solution.

Hi Sachin,

Both the AMD and Intel machines are x86 architechure. Generally kernels which come with installations are compiled generic 686 -- they should work with both PII and K6 upwards.
I am not 100% sure if this is the case with RH but I think it is a safe bet. Debian kernels are generic 386 compiled AFAIK.
But if you had a kernel problem it would have resulted in kernel panic. I think the problem may be with an incomplete/damaged install or as a long shot a currupt partition table.
It would help if you provide detailed information, steps you carried out and error messages you got.

A P100 is a P I machine -- 586. P4 is 686.

AMDK6II500 does seem to have a problem with kernels other than i386 or amdk6. Particularly i686. Distro was woody R0 linux 2.4.18, fs was rieserfs. BF24 (stock kernel with distro) did work correctly though. Mobo was ASUS with ALI chipset. This board also has problems with IDE dma.

yeah. It appears so. Even though the K6 is a 6th generation processor they used i586 kernels with it.
