Boot Problem

[scormier]

I'm just installing Mandrake 6.0 on a fresh disk, and everything looks okay in the install, but when I reboot from the hard drive I get a GPF. The LILO starts, and a number of functions are successful (calibrating delay loop, checking memory, etc.).<br>
<br>
Finally, it gets to a line that says ;<br>
<br>
mtrr : v1.34 (19990310) Richard Gooch (<A HREF="mailto:rgooch@atnf.csiro.au">rgooch@atnf.csiro.au</A>)<br>
<br>
then the next lines are :<br>
<br>
general protection fault : 0000<br>
CPU : 0<br>
EIP : 0010:[&lt;c01065dd&gt;]<br>
EFLAGS : 00010293<br>
<br>
then comes a register dump.<br>
<br>
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.<br>

Hmmm....can you just boot from CD with a line similar to:<br>
<b>vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 load_ramdisk=0 initrd=</b><br>
when it asks for boot parameters? (this should @ least get you through the rest of the installation & running <i>pretty</i> smoothly for a little while.....wouldn't suggest it as a permanent fix though. <p>-Robherc<br><a href=mailto:robherc@netzero.net>robherc@netzero.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>*nix installation & program collector/reseller. Contact me if you think you've got one that I don't

mtrr stands for memory type range registers and this is trying to be turned on, trouble is your system might not support it proply. Have you made a kernel and compiled this in? because you make a new kernel and turn it off.<br>
Or the next problem is that it is loading someting after that and that it's the device after that's the problem. <p>Simon Jones<br><a href=mailto:sijones_uk@yahoo.com>sijones_uk@yahoo.com</a><br><a href=
