Well, i've taken the linux plunge, and i'm very grateful to see that someone else has chosen the same mobo as I did. I'm attempting to use the drives in RAID 0 for better speed, but the install wants to see the drives as separate physical drives, despite the controller telling me that they're merged... Is the RAID overkill here and just a headache waiting to happen? I'll try setting them to standard non-RAID drives and see if that helps. Thanks in advance! [update] I kept getting the 'opened as read-only' error when formatting, so I though it had to be something with the RAID setup. Turns out I just had to hit the spacebar to select the drive to install to... On a less pleasant note, my internet went out in the middle of the install from disc, so I didn't have a chance to apt-get update/install. On a whim I let it attempt to boot from sda1, but all I got was a screen full of ' 99 ' over and over. Anyone seen this before? [update] Ok, home from work, went to apt-get update: several 404 errors, and ended with a hang at 99%... Still shows all 99's on the screen when booted from sda1... Followed some seemingly unrelated advice on updating the broken version of lilo from v4, tried a few different versions of 'fixes' and now have gone from 99's to initialization, but alas it hangs when X should load. The wiki suggests on the 'BlackScreenAfterInstall' page that "About 9 times out of 10 the problem is that your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is broken. Go back, reread the directions, follow them. If it still doesn't work, look for examples appropriate to your card and local TV out standard." This would be fabulous advice to someone familiar with setting up or correcting X, but I'm still in the uber-n00b zone, so it leaves me both stumped and stalled... |
