That's strange. I've already installed RH8.0 last Friday on our i845 box, and as of this moment am configuring stuff in it (www, database, kernel, firewall...). I don't seem to encounter any weird problems so far (except for that d@mn sendmail issue). Are there any differences between the i845 and i845G chipsets? I'm not sure about ours if it's an i845G. I'll look it up later. Is there a way to see what specific chipset I'm using from shell, maybe somewhere in /proc? I did encounter a similar problem when I tried installing Linux on an IBM Thinkpad laptop. My workaround was to use loadlin, maybe that can help with your installation as well. -- Joon Guillen ================================ So computers are tools of the Devil? thought Newt.
