test1 - Compac Presario V6508EO 1. Fedora 8 test 2, the first package that did boot and install. ( have reported problem with S - first to report nVidia MCP67, come up with Broadcom device, would read Ricoh SD cards, etc. Well done. ( from nvidia.com - I did receive message to make sure that AHCI mode where set in BIOS, while this bios doesn't supply any entries for disks, or options ) Can this be controlled from Linux ? 2. Network doesn't work: - perhaps I need to separatly install nForceth driver ? - The Broadcom will have to be set up with BCM43XX driver, which was expected. -However: 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 054c (rev a2) Can this be the internal modem device, as one application tried to connect to is as a 14400baud modem ? (Totem Movie Player ) Finally something running since FC6... due to the SATA problems. ( system I/O,memory ports, irq is listed in http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?product=3466328&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us Note - it says it has a Broadcom 4321AGN Wi-Fi Adapter - but that is false. What Fedora reports is correctly compared to Windows Vista. Part is actually a 4311 adapter in my case. ) //ARNE <hr size=1>Looking for a deal? <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=47094/*http://farechase.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTFicDJoNDllBF9TAzk3NDA3NTg5BHBvcwMxMwRzZWMDZ3JvdXBzBHNsawNlbWFpbC1uY20-">Find great prices on flights and hotels</a> with Yahoo!
