MexiLinux : 26/09/03 08:12 PM : Incident created -   I tried installing Bamboo today. I did get the first screen asking if I wanted to install Linux. I hit return, my screen goes black and the LED's on my keyboard started flashing, nothing else happened. I also tried vgalo and vgalo noauto and the same thing happened. Any ideas?
Linegod_7611 : 26/09/03 08:28 PM : Reply received -   From the Mandrake errata: Error scenario: Booting the installer, a machine with a lot of memory (1GB or more) hangs with flashing caps/scroll lock LEDs (Bugzilla #3198). Why: It seems as though there is framebuffer trouble with certain video cards on machines with a high amount of memory. Solution: At the installer splash screen when you first boot off the CD or floppy disks, press F1 and type "linux vga=0" http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/errata.php3 -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
