Two ideas: 1. Your running kernel may not recognise what PCI device this is, because its PCI ID string may not be in your /usr/share/misc/pci.ids file. Good news: You can always snarf the latest version of that file from http://pciids.sf.net/ . (I describe this in my laptop write-up, http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/inspiron7000.html .) 2. Try a 2.6 kernel. You mentioned Knoppix: In 3.4 Knoppix releases, you can boot a "knoppix26" kernel image at the lilo prompt, instead of the default 2.4 kernel image. If that doesn't work, it might indeed be defective. You can download diagnostic software for this chipset (for MS-DOS) from Intel's Web site. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
