I dont like the Knoppix or Puppy Linux... I know too that there are a lot of hints with can match my problem... i tried the F-X options, but that one u told (VGA=xxx) not... i will try it. Actually i have windows XP (sux ^^) and Suse 10.1 in the HD, this can be a problem? Anyway, I already installed some flavors of linux, and all them works fine ^^ (Slackware 10-10.1-11, Ubuntu 5.04, Mandrake 10, Kurumin (a flavor of Knoppix), Suse 9.3-10-10.1, and some others...); Thanks for the help! <div>On 8/26/06, Tod Merley <<a href="mailto:todbot88@gmail.com">todbot88@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 8/25/06, Gabriel Vescovi <<a href="mailto:gabrielvescovi@gmail.com">gabrielvescovi@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Hello! > > I´m getting a problem at the installation of the 6.06 version... > > The installation just stop on "configuring some drivers" (or "loading some > drivers", i cant remember o.O) > > Well after some hundreds of times trying, i could enter in the system just 2 > times, and i couldn´t install the system because i hasnt made backup of my > stuffs yet... so, now that i made the backups, and be ready to install... > puf! i cant enter in the system again, and stop´s at the same message... > > I tried to disable the USB, i configured the Bios of the PC... well.. > nothing works! > > My Hardware is: Athlon XP 2000+, Asus A7V8X-MX, 768MB Ram, and a Radeon 9200 > se ...

First the disclaimer - been a long day, it is late, use at your own risk. If I were you I believe I would do the following: 1. Check out the "F-X" menus as you start the live CD (press F1 for help - if memory serves and something like F6 for hardware problems which I think you have). Look for an item which will limit the video parameters (something like VGA=765 or some such - no time to run the Boot CD right now). Read carefully how to add the line to the boot prompt and try booting with limited video (graphics). 2. Obtain the latest Knoppix and or Puppy Linux. Knoppix is probably best for you. Boot the Live CD and capture all the video settings (/etc/X11/xorg.conf , lsmod (looking for video) an in /proc concerning video - find out which drivers loaded and how set). You may be able to transfer these to your now limited video and see more graphics. 3. Search Google concerning Linux and your hardware. There seem to be a lot of possible hints out there. Now I assumed that you are not able to boot the live CD. If you hang in an install: 0.a This is possibly a hardware problem. Where you can, try different hardware. Change out the video card, HD, Monitor, etc. 0.b Try a ctl+c . Often this will cause the script to jump out of it's "loop" and back into the stream. 1. try ctl+alt+F1 and see if the machine will go to a prompt. If so you can do some snooping to see what happened (var/log !!). 2. If not, my guess is that the MBR is not pointed properly (try changing out the HD). This is complicated. Type back if you need more help on this. Good Hunting!
