Odd. The manual has instructions for the AMI bios, whereas I have the AWARD bios

mejobloggs 10-31-2003 04:06 PM
Umm. How exactly do I open the computer?

Do I have to unscrew everything, or just rip it open?

mejobloggs 10-31-2003 04:28 PM
ah got it

mejobloggs 10-31-2003 05:05 PM
Well, I cleared it, but it didnt to anything aprt from set the date back to 1998.

Still not working.

mejobloggs 10-31-2003 05:08 PM
It always locks up on

PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:0f.0

Is there anyway to find what it is, so I can pull it out?

mejobloggs 10-31-2003 07:25 PM
Ok, I have it going.

Linux always locked up on initio.o, so when i was looking in my computer, i saw something that said initio.

Nothing was plugged into it, so i pulled it out. Wonderful!

Seems to work smoothly now.

Any help?
"any help"

yes, back up.

your playing with two unknowns here. the first is how old your computer is and second how new the new mandrake is

deductively get rid of one of these variables if you want to make any progress or be prepared to for several challenging learning curves

i'd suggest using mandrake 9.1 as it's the stablest thing they have right now and off the bat removes a host of variables for you.

LOL welcome to linux, where the user have to go deep inside to configure stuff.......................:D :D :D


And they want to be #1
