hi
I'm a newbee to linux installation....
i bought a laptop(HCL-Indian brand)with Hitachi SATA harddisk 120GB,and tried loading fedora 5...
first i got error
"AN ERROR HAS OCCURED - NO VALID DEVICES WERE FOUND ON WHICH TO CREATE NEW FILESYSTEMS. PLEASE CHECK YOUR HARDWARE FOR THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM."
then i used this command to detect harddisk
linux all-generic-ide noapic nolapic
(I got this from some forum)
thn my harddisk got detected and i was able to install FC5..
but when i tried to boot it....
i got this error...
