Hello from Gregg C Levine Well here it is. This is the log from my terminal program for this guy. It contains the dmesg output, and shutdown script output for my Linux box. The first time I booted the new kernel, a 2.4.17 one, with the LinuxBIOS patches installed, I realized that this was something worth seeing. I used the ones for IRQ routing, and for IDE power. Both of them came from the kernel patches directory from the latest CVS source output. To make this text file available here, I told lilo to activate a serial console, on /dev/tty1 which is COM2, for those of us who are still thinking in those terms. And everything traveled via serial to here and the TE I use here on this box. Those of you who take the time to go over the text file word for word, and symbol for symbol, will note the comment that Linux put in it, that when it attempted to start GPM it discovered that I had not correctly configured the kernel, and caused a minor oops on that program. Reading further you will note the comments the kernel put in it regarding resets, it also, and this was from LinuxBIOS, correctly identified the legacy BIOS that I run on it. It was pretty indignant. And for those of you who will ask, I have done all of this to convince myself that the whole idea works, the next step is to obtain a mobo that is certified on the chart. Ron, what 440GX mobos have been tested? If the Intel ISP1100 is based on that chipset, I'd love to do one. I know Intel would be peeved. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
