I have been pretty much just lurking for a few months and
decided it was time to get a Linux box running.
I have a problem loading Red Hat. This is my first real
attempt at Linux or any Unix OS.
I have a P133 with 48 meg ram, a 4.3 gig western digital HD
partitioned into two ~2 gig partitions using Western Digital's EZ drive.
My bios does not support large drives. I have Windows 95 on the first
partition and have installed RH on the second partition. I wish to dual
boot the box. The install seems to go smoothly. I set up the Linux native
and swap partitions, choose the packages to install. Everything is
fine until it is time to reboot. I get the Ram Check, EZ Bios runs
and then I just get "LI" and the box freezes up. Now I can not get at the
Win95. Is Linux compatible with EZ Bios? Is there something else I
am missing?
TIA
