Installation Hang
Hello,
When i try to installed linux slackware 9.1 the installation hang on this line : hdc : attached ide-disk driver. Can somebody help me ? Thanks |
What is the configuration of IDE drives on your computer? What other drives are mentioned before the hang?
/dev/hdc may be your cdrom in which case you might add to the boot prompt line linux hdc=cdrom another choice is hdc=noprobe |
my config is
I865PE based motherboard P4 2.8C 1 cd-rom on ide ata 1 120g hd on S-ATA ...... |
You may need a special bootdisk or dirver for SATA. It is fairly new technology:
sata.i: Serial ATA support bootdisk for Slackware 9.0. This bootdisk is based on linux-2.4.21-pre7 with support for Silicon Image SII3112 SATA controllers. After installing with this bootdisk, you will probably need to download the kernel source from ftp.kernel.org and compile new kernel modules (or build the drivers you need into a new kernel). There is a thread on this topic already: http://linuxquestions.org/questions/history/134759 It seems Slackware is not up to speed on SATA... |
