Hi, I am struggling with the installation of Fedora Core 4 on an IBM ThinkCentre A55 machine. The machine uses Intel 946GZ chipset, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3000 and Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet card. The installation procedure fails to configure the X. It also fails to load the network card drivers(lspci shows the network card in it's output). Using the modprobe command to load the tg3 module doesn't help as well. The module gets loaded but the network card is not detected. Searched a lot on the internet, but none of the docs helped. Has anybody installed FC4 on such a machine? Will the installation of FC5 help (I don't have the FC5 CDS though)?
You might perhaps be facing a problem of newer drivers within FC4. You seem to have a decent set of hardware. Why don't you try FC6? I have a spare FC5 DVD that you can borrow, or an FC6 DVD that you can borrow for a *short* time. You might still need some proprietary drivers. If you want the DVDs, contact me on my email ID. -nd -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
