I've installed cooker and 9.0 on the laptop. Unfortunately cooker locks hard
early in the boot process (It's got something to do with an IRQ, IIRC), even
before logging begins. Apparently with the presario 700 series you have to
disable APIC in the kernel though, i tried booting with 'noapic' and with
ACPI enabled, but that locked up as well. I tried recompiling the cooker
kernel to suit my needs, but ran into trouble rather early in the process
(during make bzImage), anyway I'll post that to the cooker list.
Thanks for the help, I'll try recompiling a standard kernel, I just hope it
plays nicely with the rest of the system.
