Can't get my new Madrake 10.1 to boot
I've recently installed my Mandrake 10.1 system on a 30 gb partition of a hard drive (the other 10 gb partition has Win XP on it).
My problem is that on installing I kept getting error messages that some of the packages could'n be installed. I noticed they all where kind of *i586.rpm. the instalation kept going anyway. Well, I tried to configure my Grub boot loader: I'm asked to select an Image from the two existing : Image : /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-12mdk /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-0.pre2.1.mdk (my root is set to /dev/hdc5 - it's default) wich boot image i select , I can't add the new entry to the boot loader because I get the error mesage : mkinitrd failed : (mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.img--ifneeded 2.4.27-0.pre2.1.mdk) then at the end : Instalation of bootloader failed. The folowing error occured : Fatal : stat /dev/hdc : No such file or directory Can you please give me some advice.. I can't boot at all, and I couldn't make a boot disk either, because there isn't an option in the install wizard. thanks |
Did you check the md5sum of the cd,sounds like a bad burn or download.

I mean I don't know what the md5sum is.. |
I've found an md5sum file on the Cd and it contains :
