• # I Might be wrong

    Posté par . En réponse au message problème installation mdk 10.1. Évalué à 2.

    But it definitly looks like french is not your mother language.

    So let us try in english.

    From what I understood (more like decypher, translation programs are way overrated) :
    - You boot MDK 10.1 from you CD-Rom
    - At some point Mandrake Installer tells you that it can't access the CD-Rom Drive and that it needs drivers to do so.
    - Then it keeps asking for the drivers and the parameters of your CD-Rom.

    This could com from a lot of different issue. Hopefully you should be able to sort it out easily enough.
    What is likely to happen is one of the following :
    - Your CD-Rom is connected through USB and Linux kernel can't seem to find it
    - Your CD-Rom is connected through SCSI and Linux kernel can't seem to find it
    Your CD-Rom is connected through SATA and Linux kernel can't seem to find it

    So basically you need the driver of whatever peripherial your CD-Rom is connected to.

    First thing to test is alternate kernels . If my memory is OK, you should be able to select between a 2.4 and a 2.6 kernel at boot . Try them both, chances are high that one of them is working.
    If not, try them both again but adding -noapic -noacpi on the same line (should be something like boot : mdk2.6._xxxx -noapic -noacpi the bold part being what you type)

    If none of this works, you will indeed need the drivers. There only the manufacturer and Google can help you.

    Hoping you speack english
