I got new problem, my PC couldn't perform from multi boot from linux
(no matter I choosed LILO or GRUB during installation setup).
My configuration is :
master HD : XP professional installed on NTFS partition (/dev/hda from
linux prespective)
slave HD : RH9 installed with default partition options i.e. ext3
(/dev/hdb from linux prespective)
multi boot from GRUB or LILO (not both installed same time) failed no
matter whether they were installed at /dev/hda or /dev/hdb and no
matter I told RH9 that boot windows or linux by default.
GRUB boot error message was GRUB disk error
LILO boot message was just one capital L shown on screen
I would like to ask what's wrong with my installation process ?
Anyway, after I abort install any Linux based boot loader and choose
option to boot Linux from floppy, I can boot both OS now i.e. If I put
RH boot floppy in floppy drive, I can boot into Linux, otherwise, XP
will boot up my PC instead.
But now I meet a new problem, after I see welcome screen of RH9, it
tells me that there are a few steps to take before I can use linux,
that is some configuration to set. However, after I click the forward
button, linux stays there --- screen black out with only one white
mouse cursor. The expected configuration process doesn't continue. As
I click the mouse buttons several times, a blue screen appears with a
rotating funnel, then the screen black out again and the cycle repeats
again & again. I don't know RH9 doesn't continue the configuration
process. It's very strange.
