BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS Attached Hardware: Sound Blaster Live! Generic USB expansion PCI Card Pentium IV 2.4GHz 2GB RAM HP DVD Writer 1040r NEC CD-RW NR-9100A 6GB WD WD64AA ATI Radeon 9200 (AGP) ZoneNet 10/100 Wireless NIC LinkSys 10/100 wired NIC Monitor: CTX LCD No floppy disk drive (none hooked up anyway) ZIP100 internal drive (not hooked up to anything) None of the attached hardware I saw specifically listed as being compatible, but none of it listed as incompatible, either. The two optical drives are known to work (obviously if I can get so far as attempting to load the kernel). The only thing I can think of is the hard drive (unknown previous working condition, although claimed to be in good order). Just to test, though, I'm going to swap out the CD-RW for a 52x CD-ROM. I have no other hard drives to test with (my 32GB drive, known to work, is MIA). -- PIT
