Firt of all, memory swapping, HDD swapping, CD drive swapping, GPU swapping...all have been done...but something is still wrong From 12PM to 8:30PM...straight Linux Installation. Whatver distro I put, let it be OpenSus 10.1, 9.0, Mandrake 10.1 or even Ubuntu Breezy Badger, It will find whatever reasons to fail. I just pop in Vista 5456 and it works like as if it is demanding t. I checked Every single thing, you even name it, but this freaking thing will not do. This is the AMD Case. My P4 is broke down and the board is RMAed ATM. If anyone is willing to help, I will help you by the specs: PC Chips (ECS) M825G V9.2C CPU Onboard AMD Athlon Thunderbird @ 1333MHZ DDR (Effective speed: 2666) 1GB RAM (512MB Generic DDR400, the other, Kingston ValueRAM DDR333) 120GB HDD with bad sectors starting at 70% 60GB with no bad sectors LG DVD RAM drive LG CD Burner drive Geforce 4 MX 4000 I tried using the 60GB, since it had no bad sectors, swapped memory, tried onboard video...nothing...just sits there. Before that, when I had the10 gigger in there, in addition of a 20, I was able to install Mandrake without problems. Here's the old specs when Iinstalled it. Same board Same CPU 256MB RAM Generic 10GB HDD 20GB HDD LG DVD-RAM Generic CD drive Onboard VIA Unichrome IGP Pro graphics (8MB Shared) That set up was able to install Mandrake or RedHat 9 without a problem. Now, it doesn't anymore...GAAARRRRGH! Here's the actual problem.Every single time I run installation, something major occurs and I can't install them. Suse 10.1 has intergrity check failures here and there. Suse 9.0 freeses at the end of the load, during install Mandrake freezes after accepting te Liscense Ubuntu can't format my hard drives I tried Safe Settings, ACPI disabled, but it will just not do. I found a way with Suse 10.1, by updating te OS each time, but it gave me a verbose login, and during the second setup (Also verbose), it would not show me the account creation. I tried onboard video, tried different CD/DVD drives...it just won't go in. But, I am not too sure about this but, when Mandrakee worked, my BIOS was not flashed. Now, it is flashed to the latest. I don't know if it has to do someting with this. What is oh bloody wrong? And if you think I am mad, YES I AM! I want to use a Suse/KDE distro in order to do my stuff with Gaming. How am I supposed to do this if my P4 is at the garage and my AMD being picky???
