 did you select the linus kernel by hand?

No, Expert Installation from hard drive, but everything by
default.

 can you give your /proc/pci, i'll add noaccel by default.

It's attached.

 
 thanks, cu Pixel.

[Cooker] 2 more tests with Oxygen

1999-12-24 Thread Jean-Michel Dault


Hi again,

I did an installation on another machine, plus an upgrade on an IBM
Thinkpad. Here are the results.

It's Christmas, so I gotta leave for a few days. I'll show Linux to Mom,
and see if it's user friendly enough for her ;-)

Install using gi_hd on a PIII Clone. Did an expert installation,
everything went fine. When I reboot, I have several surprises:
- Strange bug: it booted with kernel 2.2.13-1mdklinus. I think the gi_hd
image has not been updated yet.
- SIS 6326 AGP (8 megs) was detected and configured. But there were many
distortions on graphics, until I put Option "noaccel" in the config file.
I managed to get a good quality in 1024x768 in 24 bits. That's not bad at
all, considering that under M6.1, it was impossible to get anything out of
this card.
- Adaptec 7980 detected and configured automatically
- Yamaha YMF724 soundcard not supported (sndconfig message)

Upgrade with Oxygen ISO on a Thinkpad 390.
- Kudzu detected my NeoMagic MagicMedia256AV. However, the driver only
seems to support 8-bit audio. 
- XFree was perfectly configured

Merry Christmas to all! =)
