This is a good example of the wisdom of having a separate /home partition.
Rescues, and if need be, reinstalls are then essentially painless. I've
forgotten exacly how 8.1 cd1 installs, but did you try booting from a linux
floppy boot disk, and trying to run lilo lilo? Perhaps that might work.
My main complaint (really about the only one) about Mandrake is that they
apparently refuse to issue an Athlon-XP optimized version for retail sales,
or download. However, at least you can rebuild the srpms yourself. But

Tom,
I might be wrong, but as I understand it, that "recent" Mandrake release
you're referring to was done before the new gcc came out with the better
athlon specific optimizing flags. The most recent athlon rpms indeed perform
better than the i586 versions on athlon hardware.
As for the Gentoo
ble, and reducing unneeded
services at boot up as a primary way to increase performance. My philosopy is
why not do everything you can.

Miark, According to Distrowatch, 9.0 uses glibc 2.2.5, and 9.1rc1 uses glibc
2.3.1. Is that incorrect? They also report gcc is upgraded to 3.2.2.

Does the #Macros section in your .rpmrc file substitute for the .rpmmacros

Correct. If you wanted to upgrade, you would use rpm -Uvh *.rpm. But if it
failed, you wouldn't still have your original working kernel to fall back on.
I would never use -U with a kernel rpm.
Read the docs at muo, especially page 2. It's a little outdated (headers are
now in glibc, I believe),

That definitely sounds like the problem. Some boards have a bios that needs to
have the onboard video disabled, and some auto-disable when you add a card.
Perhaps that's a conflict with added video cards on your board- you might
need to disable the onboard first, assuming you didn't.

Chuck is correct- when you run sensors detect, do the ISA.
Your generated lines should wind up looking something like this (these are
from my KX7-333- yours will be different, but same format):
For /etc/modules:

I think you must have the wrong version of sensors-detect, because apparently
it is failing to list the proper rc.local lines. Your gigabyte board has the
KT7A chipset, so it should be the same as my KT7 Try putting these lines in
rc.local and reboot.

Of course, also add the line in modules.conf that sensors-detect did list.
