I have read passing variables via specific linux kernel commands, would allow the install, but that has not worked. I have tried:<BR />linux nousb nofirewire noprobe (in assorted ways) <BR /><BR />The install hangs on: ohci1394_0<BR /><BR />Any suggestions on a work around?<BR /><BR />thanks!<BR />Ralph Mon, 20 Oct 2003 20:47:41 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/mandrake-linux-on-presario-2580us/m-p/3097897#M74543 Ralph_23 2003-10-20T20:47:41Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/mandrake-linux-on-presario-2580us/m-p/3097898#M74544 Hrmm, that's odd.
