Laptop upgrade

jimf43

Ok, I've just about decided to upgrade my Compaq Pisario 1500 laptop to Linux. It's an ideal candidate for this. P4 2. 4, 512MB, 30GB HD, 15Lcd. Deserves better than XP. I booted it on the Mepis live CD to check hardware compatibility and most everything works.

Dell 8300 SATA - can't find harddisc

Belip

I'm completely new to Linux and I'm trying to install SuSe 9. 0 live-eval to my new Dell 8300 (SATA Raid 0). It's a dual boot with XP (Powerquest Bootmagic). Linux istalls or starts and put something on the hard discs but does't boot when I restart (if I choose XP it starts).

motherboard compatibility

bearcat

Allright, I'm trying to install redhat 9, but it seems that a hardware component is incompatible. I had an Inetgrated ProsavageDRR KM266 with 32 megs of shared video memory. (I know, it stinks) That seems to be incompatible with redhat.

RH AS server restarts every 6-10 hours.

has anyone experienced server restarts after 6-10 hours of in-activity. We are running Red Hat Advanced server 2. 1 (kernel 2. 4. 9-e25) on intel pentium 4 (x86) box with 2gb ram. Is there any property in the o/s or bios that does this, or something wrong with the o/s.
