Can't install Mandriva 10.1 OE

Septica · 08-30-2005, 12:35 PM

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble installing Mandriva PowerPack 10.1 DVD.
Bios is set up ok, it asks me what to do (press F1 or hit Enter).
After pressing Enter I get a blank screen, no HDD activity, nothing.
Reset.

Now F1 and then text command, system locks and last line was

Code:

PCI: VIA IRQ fixup for 0000:00:10.0 , from 11 to 5

I am seting it up with the following config:

ASUS A7V880 (VIA KT880) Latest BIOS
AMD Sempron 2600+
Leadtek Win Fast A340TD
512 RAM

SATA1: Seagate 80GB
Secundary Master WD 40GB

Primary Slave DVD-RW
Sec. Slave CD-RW

I want to setup the system on the 40 GB one with a
512 MB Swap,
250 for /boot and ~
7 .2 GB for root
-------------------------------
Now I have some questions besides this problem (optional):
1. Can my Internet connection (LAN) move move slowly than in Windows ?
-Tried in FC4. What can I say except. Bleah!.

2. Can Mandrake play right from install MP3's dvix, xvid, mpeg, qt and/or rm

3. If installed where would I get updates (KDE, Gnome, Open Office, kernel) and how hard would it be ?

4. If for eg. I want to install it over again or another distro, how could I do it without losing settings and/or programs ?

5. How can I tweak this or any other Linux system ?
-You know, services, system tweaks.

Ok, that's about it.
PS. I'm 85% newbie.

.

Thanks again.

What kind of PCI cards are in your system? Try putting the card in a different slot on the MB that should change the IRQ for it... I think you can do it from the BIOS as well but easier just to physically switch the card.

Found it.

In the end I got every option disabled and enabled to see what exactly went wrong.

I got to the section about USB stuff
The guilty party is in my case at least:
Legacy USB Support witch must be [/B]Disabled
I am pretty sure that it was Enabled or on Auto
