Title: Install freezes at boot
Post by: Jonathan on May 18, 2002, 11:48:31 PM

I have several times installed SME Server 5, but now I want to reinstall it on the machine which I used to have it installed on but at boottime during install it freezes while booting from a new CD-ROM. I changed the old double speed for a faster 32 speed ATAPI cd-rom because of the first one being broken...

It reads from the cd-rom drive but it stops leaving me with the line:

SYSLINUX ...

sometimes it goes a little further ans it tells me that the boot failed and that I need to change disks and hit a key to try again, which doesn't work.

Can some one help me solve the problem? Is it due to the newer CD-ROM drive?

Thanks in advance!

Jonathan

Probs solved, some one borrowed the FD but did not reconnect it coorrectly...

It caused the CD autoboot to fail!
