nellie2 Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I have installed Red Hat... I think!!! But when I boot into the os it only gets as far as 'finding module dependencies' in the boot sequence and won't go any further...........have I messed up somewhere??? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Believe it or not...Reinstall Redhat.What version? EDIT: 9?When you boot do you get to the point where it says: Press "I" to enter interactive StartupIf you do Press I and either choose Y or N...Press Y each time and you'll find out what is the problem, so reboot and do it again but this time press N.

nellie2 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 It is version 9 but it just whizzes past the Press I for interactive setup bit!!!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Yes but it should come to the point where it requires your input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Second thoughts:When you press I do you press ENTER afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 has it got to be a capital I...... it just whizzes past that bit... I would have to be quick on the keyboard to press I. I haven't had much luck so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 i or I.Third thoughts: Disconnect every peripheral from your computer, printer, scanner just leave keyboard and mouse connected.Try it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 The only thing I have connected is a printer and that is on a switch box... which isn't turned on to my machine at the moment. Tell a lie I have my graphics tablet and my usb card reader.... but they are both usb... do they count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Yes - peripheral - Especially as its USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 That worked :) It kept asking me if I wanted to load all these things so I just kept saying yes.I just need to figure out the internet connection now. It will give me something to play with on my more quieter moments.Thanks Powerless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Would you like help with your net connection? ...or you going to try it yourself?Oh did you disconect your peripheral and it worked.Or did you do the I bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 No it still whizzed past the I bit.... pulling out my usb hub seemed to do the trick.I will have a fiddle around with redhat by myself first... but no doubt I shall be back with more daft questions!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
