Re: What do you want MX25 to be.?

I particularly hope they continue with XFCE and Fluxbox, as well as Sysvinit and X11.

Re: Strange boot-up problems on old desktop computer

brianstorm: As I understand it - and as shown in the initial screen when I try to boot up - the Western Digital hard disk drive is already set as the Master. The CDROM (is that considered a "drive"?) is listed as the Slave.

As the user already reported, the CD/DVD drive is installed as a slave ...

Re: Strange boot-up problems on old desktop computer

It only affects how the HDD is recognized by the BIOS, it has no effect on the CD/DVD, nor on the data contained on the HDD.

Re: Strange boot-up problems on old desktop computer

**Try setting the HDD as Master: jumper pins 5 and 6**

Code: Select all

ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16)
Older PATA drives, if not configured correctly for master/slave (master, slave, single, cable-selected), can cause serious problems.

Re: Strange boot-up problems on old desktop computer

If the jumper is on CS select cable and the disk is installed as master, set the jumper as Master.

Regarding the boot line (first test the jumper) MX Tools --->MX Boot Options ---> Kernel parameters

Re: Strange boot-up problems on old desktop computer

It seems that the BIOS is having trouble finding your hard drive.

Try changing the dip switches (according to what you see on the internet you have them) as Master and as CS cable select.

You can also try adding to the boot line:

Code: Select all

insmod = ide-generic
