newbie last try
Sorry for the repeat, but my system is unusable at the moment and I
wanted to give it one last try before I completely forget debian and
settle for andother distro.
1. I am unable to have windows in option for boot-up in GRUB. During
the installation process for the bootloader, it says I have no other
operating system. Do I need to parition differently? Windows XP is
on an NTFS partition that I set as "do not use this partion" but
turned the bootable flag "on". NTFS is not an option in the
installer, like FAT32 so I can mount that as a DOS parition, which I
do. Can anyone help with this?
2. When I finish installing the base system and bootloader and
reboot, I constantly have the same code consistently repeating in the
shell:
nv_sata: primary device added
nv_sata: primary device removed
nv_sata: secondary device added
nv_sata: secondary device removed
Thsi keeps going on throughout the rest of the install, when trying to
get apt-get working, to the point where I can't choose options or type
since this is continually running and bringing the screen down.
Horribly frustrating and irritating. No other distributions I tried
had this problem, x86 or amd64.
Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thank you
