Hi folks,
I just bought an old HP Netserver LH Pro (got it for cheap on eBay), and
tried to install RedHAT 9.0 on it.
The system won't boot, the CD is recognized, but when the Linux bootloader
starts, it ends up with an error message
"Heavy BIOS defect detected".
Hmmmm... I'm quite sure the BIOS is okay, since I was able to install RH 7.3,
and it runs perfectly well.
Any ideas??
System Config is:
HP Netserver LH Pro, Dual Pentium 200,
128 MB RAM, Mylex Dual-Channel RAID Controller with 6 SCA-hdds attached,
Matrox Videocard (on-board graphics disabled)
One additional 2GB-HDD attached to one of the on-board Adaptecs.
Anyone did this before?? Do I have a chance to upgrade the 7.3 to 9.0, when
the inst. keeps failing??
Keep on hackin',
and thanks for any help,
Harald
