hi ya
2.4.16/17 kernels seems to be okay with
iwill and supermicro and msi ( amd-based ) motherboards
( all 266 FSB )
the usb stuff also works on intel ca810, few other odds and ends
motherboards too that we have...
usb stuff == ( keyboard and mouse )
- be sure to turn on usb core .... and than the usb- config
section in the kernel...
- it does make a different which usb mouse... if one works
and the other one doesnt... change the usb mouse ...similarly
with bad (cheap) ps2 mice
- even have usb-based cdrom drives working ...
- just can boot off of it yet... :-)
( no option on the mb for usb-based booting
have fun linuxing
alvin
tyan and asus tend to be better mb than iwill/msi so it should also
work...people usually buy what they like ( sheap stuff )... and somebody
else has to go in and make it work... ( job security )
