Hello guys
I'm having a lot of trouble installing either the 7.1 or the 7.2 version to a very old box.
It boots from the CD, decompresses the kernel, then tells me that me that I didn't choose a correct mode (I then take the 80x25 option). Then, the screen just gets black and the prompt starts to dance. I wait about five minutes and the prompt doesn't move anymore. Then, press a couple of times the enter key and it gives me the boot lines (stored, I thing, in the ring buffer). These lines end with the
-- PCI: probing PCI hardware (00) -- log
The PC is very old Pentium I 100Mhz with 16M Ram and 1Go HD
Does anybody know a workaround? Or did anybody install a small linux version on such a system? Thanks in advance...
LoPo
