hi,
I'm trying to install the AMD64 version of Debian 4.0 r3.
everytime I try, the installation hangs. the last instruction/process it seems to be doing is:
parport 0: PC-style at [memory location], IRQ7 [PCSPP, TRISTATE, EPP]
is this a conflict with some device I have attached?
(EPP = enhanced parallel port, right?)
If this is your first Linux installation, try something easier than Debian.
If you have some Linux experience, try installing Lenny instead. Etch is getting a bit long in the tooth, especially when it relates to hardware less than a year and a half old.
it's my first install of Debian in quite some time. I have experienced issues with Linux installs (Fedora, Ubuntu and Siddux) on this Asus motherboard before, but googling doesn't turn up any major issues and I can't figure out why, after disconnecting all USB devices (including my HP OfficeJet), the install still hangs at that stage.
the last 5 lines are as follows:
libata version 2.00 loaded
PNP: the driver 'parport-pc' has been registered
PNP: match found with PNP device '00:08' and the driver 'Parport-pc'
parport: PNPbios parport detected
parport: pc-style at 0x378, IRQ7 [PCSPP, TRISTATE, EPP]
I can't see anything obviously 'wrong' with the above, no conflict warnings or failed initialisations... what could be up?
btw, a little about my system configuration. I have 2 SATA II hds, not configured as raid but just master and slave, I have over a dozen partitions across the drives, an instance of WinXP (which I'm using now) and 2GB of DDR2 ram. my mobo is an ASUS M2N4 SLI, with a NVidia GEForce 6500 card.
it's an old system and I want to configure it to Linux so that I can work within the LAMP environment, as I want to move over from asp/IIS.
