Ok i installed using the auto installer everything installed but when i tried to boot up for the first time I got 2 errors.

one I was only able to write down part of it but It came up on both the loading of the live cd and after the install(it came up befor any colored text)
it said something like...
BIOS Bug mcfg ....f0000000...e820
Did not load MMConfig

the other error was when it got to the part trying to load the GUI
and that error was
INIT: Id "C7" respawning too fast: dissabled for 5 min

HELP!!!

here is my hardware installed:
intel D945PSN motherboard
Pentium D 2.8ghz
3GB DDR2 533 memory
ATI x850 256mb PCI-e 16x video
WinTV-PVR 150 MCE
Audigy2
200GB Maxtor SATA

Please HELP!!! I dont want to go back to windows

Thanks in advance

It might be worthwhile updating your BIOS, having a google around it appears you need to add pci=nommconf to your knoppmyth boot prompt as described here. If you install 5D1 with that added to the initial boot prompt, it should automagically use that on the installed system.

Try that out before trying to solve your second problem, it might be solved by it.

Well im Trying to install R5E50...
here are the compleat errors(after rebooting 4 or 5 times to write them down)
PCI: BIOS BUS: MCFG Area at F0000000 is not E820-reserved
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG

I updated the BIOS to one that was just recently released...it didnt seem to change anything except the intel flash screen

stuck the R5E50 cd in and typed "tv pci=nommconf" it went away it is currently installing with that peramater

but i noticed a third error under those two
intel_rng: FWH not detected

but i found this post stating that you can use ignor it...so im going to unless someone knows a way to fix it

I will post back when the install is done.

Thanks

OK the first issue with the PCI error is gone but now it wont go into the GUI

I still get about 4 or 5 flashes then the error.

INIT: Id "c7" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes

thanks for the help on the first issue

Well I found this to get me into the GUI

not I just have to get my ATI x850 installed

I've been working KnoppMyth for the past week, and I ran into this respawning error.

The solution for me was to make sure that the BIOS setting for allowing the video to USE an IRQ was ON. Not giving the old nvidia card I was using an IRQ would cause this error.

I hope this fixes your problem, too!
