Re: Mandrake 8.1 Installation
I had a similar? problem with installing redhat7.1 at work, some time
ago.
After booting from the cd the installer got stuck on a blue screen (or
other screen, if you chose advanced/textual install) while it tried to
access the cdrom. The problem was solved by replacing the cd-rom to an
older one (we have standard hardware there), and then installing.
Now, after the installation, if you returned to the original cd-rom
driver it got stuck while booting.
The solution was to compile a new kernel. Probably the 2.4.5 kernel
supplied with redhat 7.1 had some unique bug to a specific hardware
configuration, like we have there.
