Mandriva 2006 and SATA disks
in [Mandrake]

From: Dr Teeth on 24 Mar 2006 16:54 Just tried to install Mandriva 2006 on my new PC. Athlon x2 4800, 2GB, 2x Sata-2 drives, ASUS A8N SLI-SE 'board. I have installed Mandriva many times. This time in install hung very early on at the installing SATA drivers stage. Are there any tricks to getting it installed or do I have to wait until the next version? TIA. -- Cheers, Guy ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it.

Have you tried passing noapic nolapic to the installer before starting install? You can do this by pressing F1 when the first window comes up during install...

Toggle APIC settings (maybe try boot parameters nolapic or even noacpi). Switch IDE/SATA order. -- vista policy violation: Microsoft optical mouse detected penguin patterns on mousepad.

You have to go into your BIOS and disable any SATA controllers that don't have a drive connected. |
