Linux Problem
Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2003 1:49 pm
I partitioned my Maxtor 30GB HDD into three partitions using PM 7.0, installed 98SE, 2000 Pro and then Linux. All partitions and installations of software went well accordingly, also 98 and 2000 boot up well, no problems there what so ever. Also the installation of Linux went well and I installed it on a 4GB partition, which is more than ample for my usage. After doing so I installed Boot Magic 7.0 on the Win 98SE partition, went to Configs. then added the Linux partition to it. Also since 2000 Pro supports dual boot with other MS OS, it I did not have a problem with it. Finally I save then exit and rebooted the machine. After the POST screen, Boot Magic did come on or boot up and it showed me the options, they were Windows 2000/XP, if I clicked on that than the screen would change to the default dual boot 98/2000 screen and from here I make the selection to what I need to use, fine all worked well. If I choose the Linux option I get a message that says the following:
Preparing computer to load Linux
....
-
I wait and wait and wait and nothing happens, also I noticed that the HDD light stays on continuously.
If I choose to load 98 or 2000 it does it straight away no problems what soe ever.
Please help me someone.
