Loading of new PC Stops Midstream
I'm trying to load a PC for a new node. The load process stops at various places and just hangs. The screen gets a few gibberish characters and then just hangs. I can start the load again and it will stop in another place. It once got as far as just 22 applications to load the just stopped and put up the garbage again. Any ideas? I burned a new CD and it does the same thing. Also tried an external USB CD drive and same results. thanks 73 Jim W7RY
PS. This is a new un-used hard drive. Never been formatted before.

These problems are often related to memory problems. You might boot up with Memtest+ and let it run for a few hours. On Apr 9, 2012, at 11:18 PM, Jim W7RY wrote:

Tend to agree .... Chicken Soup: try moving the DIMMs around and see if there are any changes. --> Rob On Apr 10, 2012, at 5:24, Don Hackler <donh@sigma.net> wrote:

Thanks.... I looked on the FAQ page; http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/72 and it shows how fast a computer you need, but mentions nothing about how much ram you need. Any ideas?

Not much. According to Webmin, I have: Real memory: 502.33 MB total, 100.10 MB used Virtual memory: 996.21 MB total, 0 bytes used That's with two nodes running in an old IBM T40 notebook. Works fine, lasts a long time..... 73, Jim KH2D On 4/10/2012 10:50 PM, Jim W7RY wrote:
