- I have just finished downloading the version of SLS that resides on tsx-11.mit.
- edu and have installed it on my pc. Now comes some questions!
-
- First, after installing and using mkfs on my linux partition, linux sometimes
- comes up with an "Unexpected HD Interrupt" on the screen between prompts. It
- can be (but is not always related to) actions that I have taken on the disk.
- When I mount my MS-DOS filesystem, I get a slew of errors and then the thing
- works great?!?! Do I have to recompile the kernal to rid myself of this
- problem? The linux version is 0.98p5 and I am running it on a 386sx-25 with
- 4MB of RAM and a 105MB IDE hard drive with a Boca AT-IDE+ hard drive controller.
- I have never experienced any incompatibilities with the drive or controller
- under MS-DOS...have I bumped into something with linux?
-
- Second, what is the latest version of Xfree86? The one I dl'd with SLS does
- not support my SVGA card (TVGA8900D) and I don't have a copy of the mono
- Xconfig that will work. Any suggestions?!
-
- Thanks in advance for all the help. I would ask that any suggestions pls be
- emailed to me as well as posted on the newsgroup...I don't get onto the net
- very often and probably won't find the answer in the group!
-
- Thanks in advance for all the help!
