I have been messing with this off and on for the last
few weeks and i cant get it to work.
Situation:
Trying to install redhat 7.1 on a system running this
hardware:
Tyan Tomcat III MB, P166, 32 megs of ram(simms), older
6 gig harddrive as the primary master, newer 30 gig
harddrive as the primary slave. Cd burner in the
secondary master position.
I have my swap and boot partitions and a /usr
partition on the 6 gig while the / partition is on my
30 gig.
Symptoms:
Installation runs smoothly, but on bootup it stops and
hangs right after it lists the message about
"press i to begin interactive startup"
What i have tried in the past:
I tried just installing linux on my 30 gig hard drive
without the 6 gigger and it failed at lilo even tho
the installation went fine.
I know that my hard drive works fine as it was running
on a newer system with a newer MB just fine. I think
that it could be my bios being out of date or
something but it detects the size as being 30 gig when
i do the auto detect IDE.
Do i need to do a bios upgrade for the tomcat III?
How do that from linux or do i need to install
winblows just to do the update and then go back to
linux?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
--Kyle
