How to install centos5 and windows on Dell 320

-Author: Xiao Xiaofeng xiaofeng_yan2006@126.com

First install window or window already exists. To install Linux, see the following configuration.

Windows Installation is omitted here, starting from Linux installation. (Many of the following are from networks)
1. Use Linux PCI = nomsi to enter the installation system during installation

2. Do not use the LVM when partitioning. You can use a normal partition. If you have this boot, the kernel panic and the file system cannot be found. (This is important)

3. After installation, the system cannot be started. (This is for sure !) So start with disk1 and run the Linux PCI = nomsi Rescue Command. Then

1) chroot/mnt/sysimage

2) wget http://home.san.rr.com/johninsd/... 8.bin.static.tar.gz

3) tar zxvf lilo-22.8.bin.static.tar.gz

4) Vim/etc/Lilo. conf. The content is as follows (for reference only, Please modify it according to your own machine situation, and the brackets are comments)

Boot =/dev/SDA
Map =/boot/system. Map- 2.6.18 -53. EL5
Prompt
Timeout = 50
Lba32
Default = Window

Image =/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5
Label = Linux
Append = "PCI = nomsi root = label = /"
Initrd =/boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img
Read-Only

Other =/dev/sda1 (window partition)

Label = Window

Table =/dev/SDA

4. Execute lilo-V. After restart, you can enter the system normally. I think this method can also be used in RedHat, fedora, and other versions.
