Hi folks,
I've tried to install both current and 2.0 on my Epia PC, and got the =
same result. My PC fails to boot from the install floppies. I can see =
the text line from the boot program about .1 sec then the monitor starts =
to flicker and the PC reboots after a while.
When I did the initial boot with 1.6.1 floppies, and then replaced the =
first diskett with the 1st 2.0 diskett I was able to boot the system, =
and even install 2.0. But I got the same result when booting from the =
hard disk.
Does anybody have any ideas what could be wrong? What was the reason for =
changing a working bios boot?
- Janne
