I assume that these and similar problems affect all Pentium-4 users attempting to install version 7.3 (?). If anyone here knows of any specific example of a SUCCESSFUL installation of the 7.3 default system (with or without office or other software) on a Pentium-4 PC, please could you let me know how it was done? Otherwise, can you
I installed both 7.2 and later 7.3 on my P4 system with none of the difficulties that you're describing. They included the 2.4 series kernels that fully recognize the P4. I even played with a 2.2 series kernel briefly and nothing bad happened. I'm wondering if the problem is that you are "upgrading" rather than doing a fresh install, causing you to have problems with older things that don't work. I suggest if you feel you need the "upgrade" mode in order to keep important data that you back up the important data instead and do a fresh install.
