Install hangs

Post by marcus0263 »

Well I decided to put Mint on my main box, problem is it hangs when booting into the Live CD. As soon as it gets by the Splash it hangs. I've got a SCSI system with SCSI DVD and Hard Drives, I'm guessing it doesn't like SCSI.

I would try turning off disk controllers at the BIOS level that you don't use.

There could be an off chance it is the SCSI CDROM playing silly buggers. try using and IDE one if you can.
:wink:

That's the problem, it's all SCSI. I don't have problem with other Distro's. I'm doing another download and burn, let's see if it's just a bad burn.

Cheers

Once you go SCSI you never go back ;-)

My Ultra 160 15,000 rpm Cheetah's still stop the hell out of SATA ;-)

So good excuse to go 64 bit with Ultra 320 :D
