Subject: [HELP !] Cant get SLS 1.02 A1 disk to boot !
Date: 3 May 1993 11:23:01 GMT


I've just tried about everything. The problem. When booting from
A1 I get as far as the message saying hit return for SVGA modes or
space to continue, but at that point my system locks up !

I've tried booting from 5.25 and 3.5 inch boot disks, they worked OK
in another system, I have even tried SLS 1.01,same problem. I have alsos
replaced my entire RAM, again same problem. Is it my BIOS ? I haven't
been able to find an alternative BIOS that runs correctly in my system.

I have been successful running MINIX including the 32bit OS version
on this system, if that provides any clues.

If anyone can help please reply !

My system is :-
                   HT3001 Motherboard
                   386DX with AMI Bios ( Dated 12/12/91 )
                   HEADLAND Chipset
                   8 Meg Ram
                   80 Meg IDE WD (Caviar) Hard Disk
                   Trident 8900c SVGA
