What processor do you have in the machine, it just occurred to me that some of the new processors do some sort of forking, or piping, or something that can make them appear as 2 processors, I can't remember what it's called. Had this happen on a W2K machine, I had to open the case to be sure the machine only had 1 processor, thought I built the wrong machine for a moment. Sam.

It's a process I'm very familiar with, but haven't had time to fully implement yet on this system. That is the exact steps I was going to take this weekend to try and troubleshoot why it's not loading. I have components that I know work with Linux in the system already (sound and NIC), however the Mobo, ram and AGP video card are untested on Linux in my perspective. Meaning, I've gotten them to work. I have a pci video card that I know works with Linux that I'm going to use as a test card. Hopefully I'll have conclusive information by the weekend sometime. > >This is extremely frustrating for me on why it's not loading. I've only had one other time it wouldn't, and it was because of an unsupported SCSI controller in a full SCSI system. Yet, there isn't any SCSI or SCSI emulation on this system. > >Will post info as I finish my tests this weekend. > > > > _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
