Help!
I probably caused this one myself. I built a machine and loaded Red Hat Linux 9.0 and everything seemed fine. I shut it down, unplugged and pirated the monitor, keyboard and mouse for my wife to use with her laptop. I decided to load Windows 2003 Server and work on an MCSA Certification. I picked up a cheap monitor, mouse, keyboard and nic card and plugged them in an installed the nic card. I powered on the system and it stopped halfway throught the Linux boot process with no error but locked up so I couldn't enter any keystrokes etc. I tried booting from the 2003 CD and received this error as the 2003 Server process started. "an unexpected error (1955050494) occurred at line 1894 in D:\SRV03RTM\base\boot\setup\arcdisp.c. press any key to continue". I press any key but nothing happens. I swapped keyboards, mouse, etc. and tryed the new keyboard, mouse in the USB port and regular plug, still no dice. I flashed the BIOS and tried everything again including taking out the nic card. I still get the same message when booting from the 2003 CD and Linux stops weather booting from CD or hard drive. I am A + certified and have been doing PC support part time for about six months but can't get a handle on this one. Any help would be apprecited. Oh, also, the hard drive was new when I loaded Linux to it.
Thanks,
