cant install slackware 13 on asus eee 1101ha
I want to install slack13 over a usb cdrom/dvd drive with slack13 dvd.
But if I want to make cfdisk or fdisk to partition the hdd the slack didnt get it. It's like the hdd device isn't there. With Xubuntu it works. Did you know what the problem seems to be ? pre thx carlitoco |
What exactly happens when you try to run fdisk or cfdisk? Are there error messages? Does "fdisk -l" show your disk(s) and partition(s)?
|
no it show nothing !
i've the feeling, the kernel is to old? |

I can't think why fdisk -l would show nothing. I had to go into the bios and turn off various boot acceleration options to get some distros to boot up. Might be worth trying that. If you've got a spare usb stick then I'd recommend creating a bootstick as per the instructions (from alienbob) in usb-and-pxe-installers/README_USB.TXT on the install DVD/CD. |
carlitoco, what exactly happens when you run fdisk or cfdisk? Are there error messages? If so, can you post them? Also, can you post the relevant lines of output from lspci that correspond to your hard disk controller please?

"carlitoco, what exactly happens when you run fdisk or cfdisk?"
It shows the same if you make cfdisk /dev/youhavenot fdisk same hmm...xubuntu works finaly but it is a non holding situation! i've tested with usb install, it's the same. |
This article is brilliant: "Installing Slackware Linux On Asus EEE Netbooks" http://wooush.com/node/3. But of course you need to understand what you are doing. So read it few times before you actually do something.

Did you run cfdisk properly as root?
# cfdisk /dev/nameofharddrive For example it should be something like this: # cfdisk /dev/hda or # cfdisk /dev/sda |
fdisk -a shows nothing else then the usb (dev/sda) stick I want to install from.
cfdisk /dev/sdb gives: "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive Press any key to exit cfdisk" fdisk gives: Unable to open What to hell is not understandable? I work since 4 an half years with slackware and if I say cfdisk shows nothing or cfdisk shows the same like if you take /dev/youhavenot it's true. sorry but I wich it would be work yea and shure at root ! :D |
I tryed to install with the huge.s and hugesmp.s both can't find the hdd of the eee 1101ha.
|
Info about your hard disk controller? Can you actually post the output of "fdisk -l" please?
|
I've mean that fdisk -l
"fdisk -a shows nothing else then the usb (dev/sda) stick I want to install from." sorry |
