Installation Failed error.....now what..

Hi everyone,
I am attempting to install ASG 6.1 (the download said 7.1 but when I ran it it said 6.1 on the screen), on a 12 month old Dell Dual Pentium 2140 16 Ghz G33/31 Express Chip with 1 GB RAM.

I booted off the Astaro CD but continuously fails at the Hardware detection stage with the "Installation Failed" error (in Default, SMP and Classic).

I am guessing that my hardware must be incompatible in some way, or not high enough in spec (although it runs Vista quickly).

I would welcome advice on what I can do, or what minimum CPU I should run in order to build the ASG.

Regards

Steve[:S]

Thanks for the quick reply .

I am now beyond my understanding when it comes to IT !

How do I access the Ispci -v? (I'm guessing that it is a file that should have been written to the hard drive somewhere on installation of ASG?

cthanks

I would recommend downloading a some kind of linux live CD that comes with a gui.

Once it boots up you need to open a terminal (command prompt if your from the windows world) and then run "lspci -v". Then copy that text, open a webbrowser & paste it back to the forum's here..

Ok, thanks.

I've found some Linux Live CD sources through google. I'll need to do some reading and learning first !! Once I understand it I will post the outcomes.

You could try: http://www.knoppix.org/ or http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/x86/2007.0/livecd/livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso
for a GUI live CD.. both weigh in at about 700MB
