Installation Problems

[serfran]

Helo,

I am starting the installation of UNTANGLE and get the following message:

Welcome to the KNOPPIX live GNU/Linux on CD!

Running Linux Kernel 2.6.22-15-untangle.

Total Memory available: 2021080 KB, Memory Free: 2000820 KB.

Scanning for USB/ Fireware devices…..Done

Can’t find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.

Press reset button to quit.

Additional builtin commands available:
cat mount umount
insmod runmod lsmod

knoppix#

What may be happening? What should I do? I have little experience in Linux and this is the reason to choose the UNTANGLE!

Thanks

it probably because your disk controller or some other hardware isn't supported. Do you have another box to try?

(If your brave you can give the 6.1 beta installer a try - its posted elsewhere and has a different installer)

If you can download it.....

What is your hardware config?

What is your hardware config?

Desktop Board INTEL DG43NB

Mem 2 GB DDR 800

It was purchased specifically to mount the UNTANGLE!!!

Thanks

Make sure that the sata controller is not set for raid. Make sure the boot order is set to cd first, then HDD second. Take anything else out of the boot order. Pray. then try it again. There is something that the bios is doing that untangle doesn't like.

wait for 6.1 since it is FINALLY using an updated kernel..

I had a very similar situation, I ended up using v5.x CD to install and then did an upgrade, and everything has worked fine (other than it did renumber my NIC's, but that was a simple fix).
