Iam trying to install Redhat 9 on compaq presario X1030US laptop
but the system is shutting down during uncompressing phase of installation..i.e in the first 10 seconds..
previously ive installed mandrake and it worked fine
can any one suggest whats the problem
maverick
:confused:
check this link for more info on linux on laptops...
Can you be more specific on what occurs w/ RedHat? When you write "it shuts down", do you mean the laptop actually powers off or does the install freeze?
If the install freezes or hardlocks, at what precise point are you in the install?
Also, what boot options are you using when you begin the install process? Have you tried turning specific features off/on, e.g. noprobe nousb nofirewire, etc...
Cheers,
