After successfulling conquering some hardware, cd, and learning curve issues I was able to install BDI 4.51 with EMC.
After the install was complete, I was notified that the install was successful and to reboot to start.
SO I rebooted - switched the bios to seek out the IDE-0 disk for the bootsource and I got the following prompt
loading boot record from IDE-0..OK
| (<----blinking cursor)
And there she sat for several hours (overnight actually) and I never successfully booted up.
I reinstalled BDI several times to make sure I was not missing anything. The only thing I did not have on install was a mouse and I instructed the system to go without one.
After each install, I got the same success message , promptly rebooted and the same mesage as above and a hung system.
I went over to Linuxquestions.org and inquired there and did a whole lot of web resaerch and seem to be no smarter for trying.
Anyone have any idea what might be happening?
