Alright, well I just downloaded core 2 x86 for my compy to install. I burned them to CDs at 8x, blah blah blah. I booted up to CD 1, hit enter, and it hangs on
Code:
<6>USB Universal Host Controller Interface Driver v2.2
Makes sense, sorta, since RH9 also did this on USB detection..although it did not several months ago, it does now.
So, I use the linux nousb option, and I get to the blue screen..thing. It asks for a media check, I checked the first CD, it passed, and I skipped the rest as those aren't the problem right now.
After the media check part, a bunch of random characters show up--about 10-20 lines of it. It's the same every time but that's beside the point. It doesn't do anything. I tried installing to text mode, and it didnt work either.
My hardware:
Dell Dimension 2350
Pentium 4 2.20GHz
768MB RAM
hard disk partition with RH9 installed..but only text mode as the X server doesn't work..
Radeon 7500 (ATI All-In-Wonder VE)
Dell 48x CD-ROM (For boot)
If anyone can help me with this, I'd thank you a ton! Until then, I've gotta boot back into windows..
PS: I'd like to avoid downloading the discs again, as my internet speed is at an all-time low, clocking in at a cap of 16KB/sec.
