Well, I suppose this should go somewhere so no-one has the fun I have had. It seems that a Cirrus Logic GD5434 PCI video card will NOT work with a PC164SX. I doesn't play nice.
What does doesn't work mean? It means you boot and before you even get to the CMOS (or eqivalent) screen you get continuous pages of debugging gunk. I couldn't stop it so I'm not sure what it says (that's clever, unreadable error messages) but it looked a bit like a top part of a kernel oops with the EIP etc, but of course it has nothing to with Linux, it didn't even get past POST. So if you have a CL GD5434 ad your thinking of using it, you might want to smash it into little pieces instead. - Craig (new alpha owner about to test boot disks) -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
