Which fedora? Core 4 has some issue with the boot images on some hardware. Best to try text install rather than graphical. Core 1 and 2 had various issues with several motherboards (asus, via..) and needed a custom boot disk to install. Fedora, as all redhat distros are compiled for 386, which has benefits and disadvantages. Should do what you need it to do provided you can run the installer.

I have attempted FC3, RedHat 9, Mandriva 10, Gentoo 2005.0, Gentoo 2004.3, Debian Mini, Debian woody, and Windows XP. Nothing will install. All see the HDD. All attempt partitioning (XPO seemingly completes), none will install the OS. BIOS posts the correct HDD and all the installers see the HDD. All bomb out immediately after attempting to partition with the exception of Gentoo. The LIVECD will allow me to set a partition table but it dies when I attempt to apply filesystem ext3 to the root partition. I am officially stumped. Thanks for all the input everyone!

Take a look at the via arena web site. Your processor may look like a 586 to the installer but may not support all of the instructions (causing a crash). The via arena site gives instructions on how to compile and get it installed on your processor!

Rob, How in the world did you know that... I just ran the memtest86 and it is nothing but error after error.... Switched out the ram and I am getting no errors on memtest86 now. I am back in the saddle. Fedora Core 3 is installing as we speak... Thank you!!!!!

Something is truly rotten in Denmark. I took the 2.5 inch drive out altogether and setup a regular 3.5 IDE drive with a CDROM. BIOS recognizes both. Try to install Redhat 9, it dies. Fedora Core 3 dies, kernel panic. How in Zeus' Red Ripe Ass did you guys get this to install? Am I going to have to make a custom kernel? To recap... This is a Via Mini-ITX board 800MHz Samuel 2 Processor AKA E-Series C3 (not Eden, this one has a fan) Thanks to all, Wiley PS. AstLinux bombed too... ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Wiley Siler Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 4:53 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Epia C3 Linux I have attempted FC3, RedHat 9, Mandriva 10, Gentoo 2005.0, Gentoo 2004.3, Debian Mini, Debian woody, and Windows XP. Nothing will install. All see the HDD. All attempt partitioning (XPO seemingly completes), none will install the OS. BIOS posts the correct HDD and all the installers see the HDD.

(I have the C3Nehemiah> processor so I didn't need to recompile)You'd expect it to blow up with "Illegal instruction" then and not with a segfault. If you fear this may be a 386 issue, get the Debian Sarge netinst. It has only i386 kernel. Or try current Rapid, which will also give you an Asterisk installation. But my suspect here is the memory: have you tried memtest? a number of of installers and live-cds now come with it as a boot option. Also note that most installers have a shell available on an alternative terminal (usually console no. 2). It used to be very limited, but the one on current debian (sarge) installer is actually quite usable and even has tab completion for path names (thanks busybox). -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir@jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
