Mandrake 9.0 kernel panic on install
hi I'm tryiing to install Mandrake 9.0 onto a compaq prosignia 500 server with 144M ram and scsi drives. At present it has a working redhat 7.0 on it.
I know that it's bios doesn't pass on the correct amount of installed ram so i started the install with the expert mem=144M options set. But the install stops with a kernel panic VFS unable to mount root fs on 01:03. if i let the install start with no options i get to second stage install before it stops with a low memory complaint. I have tried redhat 8.0 with the same kernel panic problem. can any one help please have turned to my 3 month old home brew for solace |
