Bug resolved:
"Your video BIOS does not pass the checksum test (and for good reason, as the bus error you see proves). hwinfo is expected to switch to using the cpu emulation in such cases - but, as it turned out, the code for this was broken.
I've fixed it for 10.2."
So its a new graphics card, wait for 10.2 Final, or try 10.2 Alpha 2 when it arrives.
Can the video BIOS be updated for that board? Maybe that would fix the checksum problem... Could you contact Intel?
Possibly, but the installer should be able to cope with it, as 10.0 did, and every other distro I have installed, hence the fix in 10.2. I have just been down to my friendly local computer shop (Free plug for PC City, Croydon, Victoria, Australia) and bought a secondhand graphics card, which I will try sometime in the next few days. -- Andy Goss
All the Intel updates were for Windows or DOS, and about as old as the mobo anyway. The graphics card was a bit of a disaster - kernel panics all round - but by my typically slow and roundabout thought processes I reckoned that installing 10.0, which I knew would work, and then upgrading to 10.1, might do the job, as I could see no reason why an upgrade would need to re-identify the hardware. And I was right! SUSE 10.1 is an all-round improvement on Fedora Core 4, with the exception of one problem - cdrecord won't write to DVD, I think I need to use growisofs instead. Andy Goss
