Problem with pavilion ze4200 siries
first, I got to tell that I'm new to Linux.
I'm trying to instal linux (RedHat v8 and/or 9) on my laptop (pavilion ze4210) and runing into several problems: when I boot from cd into the instalation menu (where u choose language) keyboard and cd does not work. With keyboard I managed to come up with one "cheat" - I used usb-keyboard and everything turned out just fine, but with cd-rom ... well I dont have usb-dc-rom and I dont want to pay like 100$ for it just to instal Linux :Well, I heard that there are lots of problems with that particular laptop, but maybe someone knows any ways arround that error.
Thanks

Re: Problem with pavilion ze4200 siries
Hi,
do you have a network card in your laptop ?
You could try a network install but since you are new to linux you could have some problem.
Try contacting you local Linux User Group, maybe they could help you out.
Thanks,
JP

Re: Problem with pavilion ze4200 siries
Three suggestions:
1) Check
http://www.tuxmobil.org/hp.html
http://www.linux-on-laptops/hp.html
to see if you can find a page by someone who has already installed on a ze4200 (or similar) series.
2) Search earlier messages on this archive. (I know that at least a couple of people have reported successful installations of RH8 on ze4200 series.)
3) Try installing using the boot parameters nopcmcia, nousb, and/or idebus=50. Some combination of these parameters is often necessary on notebooks
