Trouble installing RH 8.0???
 

Hi Everybody,
I am new to the groups. Help me out. I have a P4 machine with Asus P4S333VM motherboard with inbulit sis 7012 sound card. I have winxp home edition installed on my first drive i.e C (FAT32). I tried installing RH 8.0 using Partition magic 8.0. I create 1 500 MB swap space and 5 GB partition(ext2). I put my CD and installed. I created manual partition using Disk druid with 5 GB as / . I select GRUB as my boot loader. I have the following problems.
1. I could not enter winxp. After the windows logo, blue screen comes.
2. My sound card sis 7012 is not detected in Linux.

Thanx in advance....

regards,
Hoba.

Hi,
Thanx for the solution.....all the system sounds are working and my sound card is detected.....but my MPlayer doesn't work......it says it cant detect the audio device......help me out...

when i saw the title of this thread, i thought it meant that installing red hat 8 would cause trouble, lol

sorry couldn't resist

anyway, you might just have to make a symbolic link to your sound card

I'm new to this open source....linux............i don't know how to make a link(ln) to my sound card.....jus tell me how........
