Ok, here is an example of the Error that I'm receiving:
ISOLINUX 2.11 2004-08-16 isolinux: Loading spec packet failed, trying
to wing it...
isolinux: Extremely broken BIOS detected, last ditch attempt with drive = 9F
isolinux: Disk error 01, AX = 4209, drive 9F
Boot failed: press a key to retry...
Here is my machine:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 (See http://NSC-939.ora-code.com)
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200
RAM: 2 Gig
Video: ATI X800
Sound: SoundBlaster & Retek AC'97 (Onboard)
LAN: Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/810 (Onboard)
Secondary IDE: Inclose ID ATA66-2C (2 Cards Total)
SCSI: AMD PCI
Drives:
Samsung SV4002H 40 Gig
Maxtor 96147H8 60 Gig
Maxtor 4G160J8 160 Gig
Sony DVD DDU220E
Memorex DVD16+/-DL4RWND2
Quantum 4 Gig TM3840A
Seagate ST329OA
NEC CDROM 465 SCSI
Sony CDRW CRX14SS SCSI
When I tried to install, I took two different routes, first was a SCSI install
(which had worked before) and the bios didn't pick up on the disk at all.
Second was from an IDE boot and it posted the previous error. In that time I
spent a whole day trying to figure out how to install Fedora Core 4 from floppy
and I haven't found a way to do it.
All of the images that I find from Redhat are too big for that type of medium
and I don't have a flash drive or any other type that is required. Also, I
spent the rest of the day trying to make a Boot Disk from http://syslinux.zytor
.com/sbm but I was never successful. I could make the floppy bootable with the *
.sys file that was provided but I couldn't get the program to access the drive
after that or figure out what files to copy so ldlinux.sys was the only file
that I was aware of.
I know what the obvious answer is and its one that I'm really avoiding for two
reasons. I know that to track the hardware down that it doesn't like I should
completely tear the machine down and add one thing at a time after install.
This is undesirable for two reasons:
1.. it would take almost 2 days worth of work
2.. anytime Windows has to reassign memory addresses, you run the risk of the
OS shutting down with Windows 2000
So does anyone have another work around?
