Mandrake 9.2 don't boot
Hello,
i'm a newbie in Linux world, but i wanted to use this OS for a long time. New Mandrake release looks good for a first step.
So, I first installed Mandrake 9.1 on my computer at Work.
Install was perfect: no error, everything went good (mouse, network, graphic card, etc...). I chosed lilo to set up a multi-boot (i'm using Windows 2000 too) system. At the end of the install, install program ask me to reboot to start Linux... I reboot, Lilo is there, i chosed Linux and i got a blank screen... No HD access, no CD access, nothing happening. I have to shut down the computer to reboot.
I tried to boot with Linux non-fbs, with failsafe, but the result was the same.
Then i tried the Mandrake 9.2.
This time too install went perfect.
But Linux still won't boot. I know have this message when trying to boot with linux :
"Loading linux.....................
Bios data check successfull"
And then: a blank screen...
My computer :
MB : ASUS P4B266
CPU : Intel Pentium 1,9 gh
GC : GeForce4
HD : 2*80 GO (Western Digital)
First HD (master) : 2 NTFS partitions (1 with Windows 2000, 2 with datas)
Second HD (slave) : 1 NTFS partitions (40 go), 1 Linux Swap partition (0.5 go) 1 linux partion (39.5 go)
Lilo is on MRB.
What can i do ??
By the way: i installed linux at home and it works perfectly ! What a pleasure !
