I've inherited pretty old laptop, it's Cybercom 9889, pentium 266 MMX, 32 MB RAM, 3GB hard drive. I know it's dam old, but i would like to use it as a typewriter (xorg+abiword processor), and maybe for browsing the net.
Anyways iv'e got a big problem, i don't know what the hell is going on! Here's the issue:
- slacware 10.2 is installed (without KDE and libraries, and without X applications)
- when i boot it everything's goes fine untill system is loaded and prompt comes out... then the keyboard stops. I can't type anything... sometimes i can type for about 30 seconds.
I would like to have slackware linux on that laptop because i'm using it on my desktop, so i got use to it (i'm new in linux though).
I can't paste syslog
but durign loading the system, the only error that occurs (keyboard is working till then so i used pause-print screen) is about kernel agp module, which is obvious because there's no agp
.
Text session is going out fine* in DSL (i can't use x windows, because i can't get touchpad to work).
*) well not very, prompt line is beneath view area :/. I don't know how to fix it.
Usual begging: PLEASE HELP !!
