linux mint 9 and a t22...
linux mint 9 and a t22...
anyone have experience booting/loading linux mint 9 (gnome or kde) on a t22?
for reference... 1ghz p3, 512mb ram, 1400x1050 lcd. i recently had wary puppy 5 on it, but wanted to play around with a more full-featured distro
i'm stting here listening to the dvd drive thrash back and forth, presumably reading/loading, but so far nothing beyond the 5-dot progress thing is on the screen. both the gnome and kde disks work fine on a t43, so i don't think it's due to bad dvd burns.

I also got the same thing on a pair of A22's. Similar vintage machines. Never did get them to load. Sold them maxed out with W2k on them.

Re: linux mint 9 and a t22...
I have dealt with the same thing also. Once in a while a different CD drive will work, but usually all that can be done is install the OS with the hard drive in a newer machine, then transfer the drive to the old T22. It might just boot then.
Collection = T430 - T500 - R400 - X300 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - R61 (15" SXGA+) - T60 - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P
Re: linux mint 9 and a t22...
Try adding the boot parameter 'noapic'.

Re: linux mint 9 and a t22...
i was booting a live cd, so how to add the boot param?
anyway... i gave up on the t22 and installed on my t43 instead. now, to play around and learn some new stuff!

Re: linux mint 9 and a t22...
I know nothing about linux mint but I've experienced a similar problem with ubuntu - where the default X-win drivers wouldn't work with the GPU chip of the computer on which I was trying to do the install. Switching to a 'more primitive?' text-based install got things going.
Re: linux mint 9 and a t22...
thanks for the reply.
i've got mint 9 kde running nicely now on my t43.
