Okay i am trying to install a minimum server package on the system =
below. I am using the lowmem.bin to startup, but i keep hitting a =
problem.
This problem is whenever linux tries to initialize or mount a partion.  =
The error message is "device or resource is busy" and "The swap =
partition /dev/hda2 could not be activated. Device or resource busy"

I have set the HD to its specific setting (as quantum has them =
specifically)
One major problem which i cant change apparently is Compaq's bios. It =
only permits very very limited changes, not sure if this could be a =
problem.

Any help would be appreciated...only thing i havent tried is some zero =
addition to boot file...i just vaguely remember it, havent been able to =
refind it. Please reply at samtate@home.com
