Hi all

Just tried booting the CD and it happily goes though the CD boot process until I get to the bit:

agpgart: Detected Intel 440BX chipset

and it just hangs there...

now I'm familiar with this problem when I've installed a slackware distrobution before but the difference is that the install of slackware works and then I have to change something before I reboot otherwise when it loads in the graphic driver, it hangs in exactly the same way.

How can i boot the CD to install in a graphically safe way?

Cheers

CensorNet doesn't have a graphical installer, it uses an ncurses interface over the standard console. I'd suggest checking the md5sum of the downloaded ISO first.

lol Tony - "graphically safe way" - i meant it as a play on words ;)

As I've mentioned, I've had the exact same thing with Slackware Distributions and also the county's custom made distribution(s), and I have the same problem - although its not until after the install - the cd booting gets past that bit fine.

Another thing is the SCSI disks within the server - should i be passing anything to the boot process like i do with the slackware distribution?

Cheers
Nath

bump ^^

I'm still after a solution to this problem [nothing wrong with the CD - Its definately the chipset 100% thats its the prob]

I pray the new version will work when it comes out.

I know that in a slackware install, it is possible to alter it so that it works - however, thats after slackware has been installed. The problem here is that it does it when the CD is booting so i cant change it [obviously].

Any ideas would be welcome.

Cheers
