Other Help Topics :: Old Machine dont enter Graphic mode only console



Im not really shure if the script format, but still I try everything, formating without formating and let the script make the work.

Ok, the problem looks to be this.

When Installing, creates a ramdisk...Done
Autoconfigure devices ...Done
Scan Hardware partition /etc/fstab...Done
Usinf swap partition /dev/hda2
mount can't find /ramdisk in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method
mkdir Cannot create directory /ramdusk/tmp.... the same for /tmp/mydsl.icons, /ramdisk/tmp/pipe.lua

then before get to terminal mode

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server.

Im not really shure what im doing wrong, its look like is not accesing the right way.

I don't think that's the install boot scripts - that's just running it as some frugal still.
If you want to do that, try to boot with "dsl failsafe lowram"

If you want to install, start with "dsl install"

OK, it looks like its installing but now i have no image, the monitor only display random horizontal lines, in the part where the menu suppose to be and some others in the middle, do i try will all the vga options and see what happens or my B/W monitor is the problem? ???
Try playing around with xsetup.sh.
I'd suggest starting with 640x480x16 and work your way from there.

Make sure you restart X after though. (ctrl+alt+bkspace, then run startx)

OK, yes its working i got out with ctrl+alt+backspace, and re-enter strartx. Now how should i play with xsetup.sh Do i have edit it with some notepad, or where are the options?

Woohoooo, now its working. Is not fast, not even some near to slow, but is working, lets see how behave firefox.
Thax a lot ^thehatsrule^, reaaly appreciate your support.
