Hi

I have a problem, when I try to boot Linux 2.2.15 and it comes to the
point when the system is going
to mount the root (/) my screen goes black, but don't looses signal from
the card. The system hungs
and nothing happends. When I try to boot up with a bootdisk and I try to
mount a ext2 partition the system
hungs.. and it happends when I try to mount the FAT32 partition I got
too.. but after a couple of minutes..
Windows 95/98 runs fine.. no harddrive read/write problems and no "turning
black".. I run Slackware 7.0
but have tested with slackware 4.0 and BeOS. If i run dd if=/dev/hda1
of=/dev/null bs=128k the
screen turns black(I haven't mounted /dev/hda1 then..)..

My hardware is the following:
Motherboard: ABIT BX6 Rev. 1, With latest BIOS (BX6_QS.BIN)
Processor: Intel Celeron 466 @ 466MHz.. 128kB cache
RAM: 64MB SDRAM (I have tried with another modules)
Graphic Card: Leadtek Winfast TNT2 32MB (I have tried with another card
(S3 Virge 4MB))
Network Card: NE2000, (I have tried with none)
Sound Card: Original VIBRA16 Creative.. (I have tried with none)
Monitor: 15" Fujitsu x154 (1024@85Hz)
Harddrive: 17GB Seagate 5400RPM (I have tried with a IBM Deskstar 8,4GB
5400RPM)
I have a /dev/hda1 and a /dev/hda2.. hda2 is linux and the other
one is windows..

I have tried to disable all I can in BIOS that has something with ACPI and
APM to do..

What is the problem? Why goes my screen black when I try to mount a
harddrive partition?

Please reply to r3@footek.org
(I installed linux on a AMD k6-2 and then I put the harddrive in the
celeron system)
