Topic: FATAL IO error 104

When I run startx I get the above referenced error.

The LiveCD version I downloaded is beta-0.8.4.1.

My computer is as follows:

Intel Celeron CPU 1300 MHz
256 MB Memory
Intel 82815 CGC (Chipset Graphics Controller)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: FATAL IO error 104

could you try to type "i810" at boot prompt, and tell me how it is ?

Typed i810 at the boot prompt and got the same error when I ran startx. It says it is using X(vesa).

Re: FATAL IO error 104

Usually, do you use linux ? If "yes" could you give me the name of the driver reported in xorg.conf ?
thx !

Re: FATAL IO error 104

Shortly after boot is initiated the screen is paused and there is a message that an undefined node number has been passed and gives two options.

I'm running ubuntu 6.06

Here is my xorg.conf

Re: FATAL IO error 104

Here is what i needed :

Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]

I will add it to the kernel; if possible.

Re: FATAL IO error 104

I downloaded 0.8.5.1, I'm sorry to say I got the same error when I ran startx. What does the message about the undefined node number mean? Is it possible that's the problem?

Re: FATAL IO error 104

did you try to pass an option at boot prompt ?
intelfb800 for example ?
Type "F2" at prompt and see options .... and try them and tell me how it goes, please

Re: FATAL IO error 104

I have tried each of the options listed and continue to get the same error. These are the lines after the backtrace.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting.

XIO: Fatal IO error 104.

Re: FATAL IO error 104

I went back to your first suggestion to type i810 at the boot prompt and what I got was this message: Could not find kernel image: i810

I'm sorry, don't know what I did the first time.

fb800
fb1024
i810fb800
i810fb1024
intelfb800
intelfb1024
