redhat 7.3… snow crash!
well, i installed redhat 7.3 last night on my home box (ultra) and guess what? yup… snow crash! (ok, i’m really getting into snow crash, the book i’m reading.) the install went fine, using my (well, tony’s) ati radeon all-in-wonder pci during x configuration. it was able to start x with no problem, but only for the install. after rebooting, first, eth0 didn’t come up. fixed that. start x - then x froze - not just x, the whole system! strange. rebooted. went into reconfig x, now it would only choose my secondary pci vid card not the radeon, but it would use my main 21″ compac monitor. arg. anyway, i stopped playing with it at that point - going on 1:00am - and went back to reading snow crash.
note: redhat 7.3 doesn’t like the pci version of the ati radeon all-in-wonder, only the agp version…
