I am new to the world of Linux and have aquired an old Compaq Presario 5032. I have tried to install Mandrake 9.2 and Red Hat 9.0 on it but both get hung up on the install. It hangs up at
hdd: lost interrupt
the darn thing just keeps going through that message and would go through it forever if I didn't shut it off. Is there any hope? Thnx.
It is a PII 300 Mhz
