    I finally tried init=/bin/sh to execute yast and stop from loading at the boot the services which halts my system but i cant do that cause there's no root nor user account being created so far

     

    So what i get is a :

     

    yast2.pid i think cannot write on READ ONLY FILESYSTEM

     

    If someone knows please how i can stop these services or knows the command to write at the boot options to stop hardware auto detection so i can finally install my suse i'll appreciate it

     

    Thank You

     

    (Starting hotplugging services net pci usb ( there halts ) in the install halts at the ehci-hcd ( which is the only one i dont probe so i can finish the install)

    The best way to accomplise that is to use pmagic within your win9x ( xp or whatever ) delete the partition and resize the actual one

     

    And then get the win98 boot cd ( cause this is the only one with dos prompt ) (xp aint having none,dos at all,just cmd) and boot in command prompt ( not the setup nor w/o cdrom support )

     

    At the prompt Write : fdisk /mbr ( mbr=master boot record ) which saved my a*s couple of times

     

    Then the only OS that'll exist ( and boots auto ) will be your 1st one.

     

     

    Farewell friend.

    Who said that by installing GRUB/LILO won't let him see his 1st OS again ?

     

     

    Tip : If you wanna keep 1st's OS multiconfig try with a win98 boot cd by starting pc with cdrom support ( not setup but just in dos prompt) and try

     

    ( no xp boot cd cause there's no dos , but cmd only ) saved my a*s couple of times

     

    : fdisk /mbr ( mbr=master boot record ) and then the only that stays is your 1st OS

     

    You can create then from your distro as well to see again both 1st n' 2nd OS

     

    Farewell friend

    Aint boot opts from the bios i think cause he said that the prob is within

     

    the installation procedure so no boot probs due to bios opts are refered , something's wrong with the .iso's i guess

     

    cause i think happened to me2 once.

     

    I don't remember for sure , maybe i tried to burn'em again

    Tip : If XP are present in the 1st partition and the 2nd contains other

     

    OS'es ( cause in XP there's only prompt and not the old school dos ) try with a boot cd of windows 98 to :

    Boot from CD in the prompt and not to setup the win9x and write

     

    : fdisk /mbr ( mbr=master boot record ) which sometimes saved my a*s

     

    So after that no multiconfig boot options etc exists no more but only the one from the 1st OS you've installed at the 1st place...

     

    PS.Try Mandrake 9.0 my opinion.

     

    Cheers

    So far so good ,

     

    During the installation progress i pressed cancel to the ehci-hcd only and i probed all the others

     

    So the installation was finished

     

    Then at the OK's screen halts at the :

     

    Starting hotplugging services [net pci usb

     

    Sooooooo After a thought i tried to execute :

     

    init=/bin/sh and when i took prompt i tried :

     

    su root and tried to execute YAST to block the services from being loaded that makes my system halt

     

    But it's RONLY so i can't do a thing

     

    Any ideas ???

     

    (I tried to fsck and then umount/mount -rw , but still no dice)

    Hi there ,

     

    1st of all , Happy New Year To All Of You Out There

     

    Now...

     

    Yesterday i went to buy the package of suse 8.1 pro cause i was quite

     

    pleased of the linux in general , i was with mandrake 9.0 before and

     

    before go and buy the package of suse 8.1 pro i got the live eval 1st to

     

    check if it's ok at my laptop which was working okay

     

    So yesterday finaly i went to get it.I came home unpatient and the smile

     

    soon went off my face as i realized that before even writing the files the

     

    system halted , after a lots of tries and lots of ways of install

     

    I've noticed that the ehci-hcd probe drove my laptop to halt completely so

     

    next time i pressed cancel and kept going with the instalation which went

     

    great....

     

    Till the reboot,when the system was loading went to the screen with the

     

    OK 's the final i saw was

     

    "Starting hotplugging services [net pci usb_ with the cursor there blinking

     

     

    That's it.

     

     

    It's almost 24hours of trying and ahm really pissed about it

     

    I think i just throw 90$ away , i even tried to call the guys here in italy

     

    and they hanged up the phone , i called in germany maybe they were

     

    closed i dont understand german anyway

     

    I've sent mails too after the activation...

     

    Please advise , ahm really desperate and i'll appreciate if you help me out

     

     

    The irony is that they have my laptop as certified as the suse 8.1 pro is perfectly working ... usb2.0 halts the system ... ? but my laptop uses usb2.0

     

    And i spent 3000euro on this one

  14. Posted

    My laptop aint having compability problems , thats the strange,all the

     

    cards even the radeon are fully 100% recognized ( and certified for suse i

     

    tried this morning )

     

    And its the Presario 2800 p4m 1,6ghz ,32mb radeon mobility 7500 , 512 ram , 30gb hdd,15'' TFT

     

    In other words , my linux system is fully operational , no problems at all ,

     

    all the linux i tried so far , the problem is only " fonts icons interlaced

     

    style like lines from above cutting them in the middle ( like matrix ) "

     

    So far i tried rh8.0 , debian , suse 8.1 , mandrake 8.1(which works perfectly even the colors) , mandrake 9.0 , gentoo

     

    All works fine except of the font-color-type prob i've noticed.

  16. Posted

    What you suggest me to do ?

     

    Mandrake so far is the only one which works at least on my laptop , i

     

    didnt try installing suse though , ahm just downloading now the Eval ver

     

    of it to try it and if its ok i'll get it.

     

    I'll let you know as soon as i install suse,if i cant go on i'll try again with

     

    mandrake

     

    Might be the case you think of , i didnt try it.

     

    If you dont mind please check it out for me , i mean think of something

     

    and i'll try.

     

    Thank you very much for your interest.

    I didn't change anything at all.During setup i chose ati radeon.I tried with

     

    others but same problem.

     

    I think that the PCI : 00:1f.0 resource collision is an ULTRA ATA collision.

     

    And as for the vga what results in X on my mandrake starts from the

     

    begining in redhat 8.0 install procedure.

     

    In other hand the mandrake install shows ok all the grafics and the vga

     

    and monitor are recognized while in redhat probes the ati but not the TFT

     

    monitor

     

    I installed the newest ver of Xfree i did the config too as root but same

     

    probs remain.All the ati where there , mine was missing...I tried to

     

    choose at least half of them...Still no dice. :x

  18. Posted

    Yeah , noone so far knows or at least ( Answered me about my problem ).I just installed Xfree4.2.1 , i even did the xf86config ( they've said that they will FIX all the ati cards that they have prob , i saw 10000 cards except of mine ... ) Still no dice.My X seems like my laptop has a 512kb vga , instead of an ati radeon 7500 32mb.

     

    If you please help me out as you are the only one who answered so far

  19. Posted

    Please i really need some help here.Does anyone knows whats going on ??? I can't understand why during the install process of mandrake 9.0 the grafics are okay , while in redhat 8.0 during the instalation procedure does what in my X session of my mandrake.

     

    And i cant understand why mandrake 8.1 works fine ( but there's always the : pci oo1f resource collision )

     

    PLEASE ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
