after reboot mdr 10.0 wont work

12Derek34 · 03-13-2004, 04:43 AM

When I'd start mandrake linux 10.0 the first time, everything worked correctly!
But when I start mandrake-linux for the second time it wont work. The program load KDE and stop by the 85%

I've installed my pc 8 times, and still the same error.

Has someone a solution??

Do you boot into runlevel 5 or level3? If 5 then you need to start linux by typing linux 3 at the lilo prompt, so you boot into a level 3 login prompt.

Now you can type startx. While KDE is loading type <Ctrl><Alt>F1> and watch the messages to see where it gets stuck.

Where can i hit that (linux 3)...?

Must i hit it when I see a list with Linux, and windows, and so on, or must I first hit Linux and than typ linux 3... because when I do that It just do the same as ever!

and it nou get stuck on 28%... than that window dissapear and i only see a blue screen.

When you get the boot menu just hit <Esc> then you will see a boot: prompt and you can type linux 3.

<edit>When it gets stuck you should be able to hit <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace> to get out of it.

Could be the apic problem... I had lots and lots of lock ups because of that. To fix it, use linux noapic nolapic when booting (press esc on the bootloader menu)

Ok i will try it.! !

This is what I see:

(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: INVALID ARGUMENT

Has this something to do with my grapic card???
ATI RADION 9600

Still stuck at the 85%

You seem to have a problem with framebuffer device. I would suggest you boot into linux 3 then run drakxconf and make sure you have the correct video card/monitor selected.

<edit>There is an ATI Radeon (fbdev) <- dont select this one, try something else.

You could also try xf86Config

weird...

when i logon the root, and then start: STARTX
it works

and when i logon my user, it still doesnt work!

Copy .kderc file from root's directory and put it in your directory. Chown the .kderc file so you are owner. If that doesn't help you may need to copy the entire /root/.kde directory but that will mess up some of your kde settings.
