I just got myself a new Asus mb with an athlon processor. I swapped the mb, thought it would be easy in Windows 98, but was a bit worried about linux: would the kernel run as is (replacing a k62 333)? would I have to recompile? I swapped MBs, and booted in win98; which insisted on redetecting everything (Yamaha soundcard, Asuscom isdn card, network card, adaptec SCSI card, Terratec TV card, AGP I740), and was very creative in figuring out new resource conflicts. After spending most of one day on it, in which I could not get my 8mb video card to work at more than 640x480 in 16 colours, I was fed up and decided to try Linux (incidentally, the ISA ISDN card is a good case study: the advice you usually get for linux is "set it up in win, check the resources it uses, and then define the same (by hand) in Linux", and surprise surprise, the machine booted fine , except for the ISDN card. A PNPdump and some isapnp.conf editing later, I was back online. I am still struggling to resolve that AGP conflict in windows. Are the ease-of-use tables finally turning? fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux Kernel 2.2.13 (but who cares?) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
