I've recently aquired a Compaq Presario 4000 which I'm trying to put Mandrake 9.2 on. I use Mandrake on several servers in the school and want to keep 'em all the same. The problem I'm having is firstly that it only seems to see 16M of memory. After a bit of Googling I've tried various options such as mem=192M and append="mem=176M 16M" It then doesn't seem to get as far into install but throws up:- Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs 0n 01:03 which makes me think it has a problem with the array.
What sort of disk controller do you have and disks for that matter? and that should be mem="176M@xxx@" There are about 3 other different ways of getting around this problem, but that one usually works.
I don't have the original Compaq setup disks that came with the server (not suprisingly)
