Hi:
I'm brand new to Linux. I have tried 3 times to install Red Hat 6.1 on my intel base machine. Each time, as it boots, it finishes looking for bootable media on CDROMS and Floppy, then I get a screen full of 01, 01, 01, etc. It seems to be in an endless loop as it will not stop till I shut down. I'v gone by a book and had no problmes installing. Here are some facts: - I installed the first two times with the GUI and Text the 3rd - I tried the Sever-class first, Workstation 2nd and expert 3rd. - I have written zeros to my drive to clean it up for the 3rd install. - I set it up for LILO - I partitoned with, I guess, Disk Druid. I defined my partions and I assume they were fine. Went by the book. - I DID NOT create a boot disk (something tells me this was a foolish thing not to do. - I have a 750 AMD, 256 RAM, 20 GIG IDE HD (partitioned about 15). What else would you need to know? - I have no clue. Thanks for any info. Rob |
I would suggest to try to reinstall it again and this time create a boot disk, then you can see if it loads from a floppy with no problems. You are installing lilo to the MBR right? If you are or not...its always a good idea to create a boot disk. Go from there and see what happens and let us know.
