Red Hat Help!

[Dressler]

I just tried doing that all the way to the localhost.localdomain login screen (the one that freezes). Nothing happens, no terminal...  :confused:

Strange, pressing 'a' at the GRUB menu should definitely work. Do you have a european keyboard?

[Dressler]

Yeah. a Danish one. With

[KernelPanic]

Well on my Uk keyboard 'a' is the key derectly yo the right of 'Caps lock'. Try pressing that, GRUB is no doubt only made for american type keyboards.

[Dressler]

Same here.

a is right to the right of left caps lock.....

??

[KernelPanic]

hmm, then I am confused.

does you keyboard usually work before an OS is loaded. Does it work in the BIOS menu for example. I have come across some USB keyboards that dont work in boot menus.

I dunno  :confused:

[KernelPanic]

Maybe you should ask Void.

[Dressler]

All right, I'll ask him. Yes, it works in bios.

[Dressler]

Something is wrong with the forums there, can't register thus I cannot ask him...

[KernelPanic]

When you pressed 'a' at the GRUB menu, had you highlighted the linux entry?
Because if you didn't do this then pressin a will do nothing.
Just a thought...

Ok, I know this thread's old, but I want this to work!

Since you must be eager to convert a Windows user (By God do I hate it) to a Linux user, please help me...

You've read through the posts- what do I do?

Using Grub 0.9. Nothing happens when pressing "a" or any other key except "p" and "Enter". "P" does some password thingy.

What am I supposed to do? I installed it correctly, even in the old windows fashion i reinstalled it several times.

Not to hail Windows, but XP atleast works when booting. Windows doesn't really work anyhow, so that doesn't say much.

I want to try this Linux, help me by God help me!

[KernelPanic]

When you are pressing 'a' at grub have you gone up or down yo higlight the redhat linux entry?

[Dressler]

I have tried with both RH and Windows XP hi-lighted....

[KernelPanic]

Well buddy im all out of ideas.

Head to void main's

The link^^ should work now.
