Hi Guys,
Complete linux newbie here. I've just got past the installation of MDK 10.1 without too much trouble (on an AMD laptop, partition with WinXP), but my problems start when booting into linux.
It just seems to hang with the message: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
Now from looking around the web, I've found some other reports of this error [1]
One solution I found[2] was to add the following line to /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo.
append = "parport=0x378,7"
I'd like to give this a go (hey, it might work for me), but am a bit lost as to how to go about it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
