RE: install sloooow doooown

They are IDE and they are on the same IDE channel.  I'll separate them
ASAP.  Although the current install should be complete, at the current
pace, in 6 or 7 hours.

Thanks

Oh, here I go again, topposting. I'm sorry up front.

Anyway.  You didn't say what kind of drives these are.  If they are IDE
do
you have them on different IDE cables and thus different IDE channels?
If
not then do that.  You should never install IDE drives on the same
channel.

If there SCSI then I don't know what's up.  Shouldn't be hardware.

Are the CD's clean that you are installing from?? Sometimes that can
slooow
the install down.  Keeps trying to get a good read.

Has anyone experienced redhat 7.2 setup which starts the packages
installation fairly zippy, gets about 2/3 the way, then starts crawling
to about 5 MB an hour?   I suspect a disk problem because last night I
attempted a rather elaborate partition scheme to accommodate Oracle's
'optimal framework'.   The install started slow and remained slow :
200MB in four hours!


This is an older Motherboard with pentiumII 500 MB memory,  two hard
drives

This latest attempt, something as follows:
Primary is 2 GB     50MB /boot    1000   /swap     950  MB /oradata
Slave   is 12 GB    4096MB  /		4096 /usr	   3000MB
/oracle
achieved 800MB package installation very quickly then started crawling.


I should also stated that I have a difficult time getting redhat to
recognize the larger drive, although the bios detects it everytime.
That's a strange discrepancy.   What I have to do after each failed
install is take the drive to a machine with partition magic and wipe out
the partitions with the 'complete clean' option.

Can anyone confirm that this is a disk problem or help me figure out
what might cause this weird slowdown?

Regards,

John
