Re: [OT] Linux running on an AMD Duron-700Mhz
Hi there, redhat 6.2 will (should) install on this system. Maybe you have to use the upgraded driver / update disk and maybe you have to use text install. However, the installed kernel will fail during boot because it tries to disable the cpuid serial number on your system (of course there isn't one). The 2.2.14BOOT kernels supplied with the system should work, however I didn't found a way to fire them up after installing due to the fact that they are not configured in lilo. After installing I used a SUSE cd to boot the installed system with the kernel supplied on the cd by suse ;-). That worked. You then just have to recompile the kernel without the cpuid serial disable. That worked. Maybe Mandrake suffers from the same "bug" that it tries to disable the serial :-). I do not have personal experience with this distro. No problems whatsoever made debian potato 2.2. Fairly easy install (text based). Just tested this distro as of now a couple of minutes. Suse will work also I guess (since the boot cd worked). > I know that this is a fairly "recent" system and as such the hardware > support in the kernels distributed with the distros aren't necessarily up > to date.

[OT] Linux running on an AMD Duron-700Mhz
First, my apologies for an OT request here. We recently upgraded one of our machines here to a Duron 700Mhz running on a QDI mainboard, and haven't been able to get a few recent Linux distros to install reasonably on it. RH6.2 installs but chokes constantly whenever we exit the X-server (XFree-3.3.6, running on an S3V Trio64), and Linux-Mandrake 7.1 won't even install on the system. I know that this is a fairly "recent" system and as such the hardware support in the kernels distributed with the distros aren't necessarily up to date. Wanted to find out from others on this list who are running Durons what distro they're running so that I can try to get this machine up and going again.
