Hi all,
I have a PC like so:
- 486 DX/2-50
- 8 Megs of RAM
- 120 + 340 Megs HD
- PAS-16
- Internal Modem GVC (COM3)
- Sony CDU-33A with controler board (DMA=3, IRQ=9, BASE=0x340)
I'm trying to install Redhat Linux 5.1 on the 120 Megs drive and I'm
able to
read the CD but it becomes very slow in the filesystems setup screen or
"scanning hard disks" part of installation. I tried to take off the
sound card from my system, I tried IRQ=0 IRQ=3 and IRQ=9 (CD card), I
tried no DMA and DMA=3 on the CD card. The only thing I have not tried
is to change the BASE address 0x340. This CD work very fine in
DOS/Windows 3.11.
Yesterday night I tried to install from my DOS HD and when I inserted
the SUPP diskette, the same phenomenon happened again on the floppy.
The install procedure starts to seek the floppy drive over and over. I
let it go for 15 minutes and then stop that thing.
I pull my hair on this. I would like to install Redhat 5.1; that's
all!!!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
