Hi,
Am installing 14.2 32bit via CD onto a Compac nx9010 laptop (1GB ram, 60GB HDD, P4).
Have partitioned hdd to sda1=16GB for /, sda2=4GB for swap, sda3=38GB for /home. Have formatted sda1 and sda3 to EXT4 using gpartd off Mint install disk.
Gone through install several times and am putting LILO to root (not MBR). Have been taking safest options. Install now goes clean but when I boot it ends up displaying L then lots of 99s. I have no idea where to look for the problem. An ideas?
