I then repeated the exercises on
another older PC "cromwell5c"
with the following hardware:
1.GA-5AA v.1.2
m/board,
2.AMD K62-500, 3.192 MB SDRAM,
4.plugin 15 GB ATA 66 HDD,
5.Nvidia TNT2 Mod64 32 MB AGP display card,
6.17" AOC 7vlr monitor,
7.Epson SCP750 USB printer,
8.Realtek 8139 NIC.
The takeover
install again gave "fatal error - code 30 - reboot" as before.
I couldn't progress at all with the Advanced
Install.
The PCs in
Item1
&
Item2 both have AMD processors
and use AGP nVidia display cards.
Both these PCs run LOS SPX 1.1.1,
Mandrake 9, and Windoze 98/ME/2K/XP without this problem
, so it comes down to
the Lindows OS distribution.
Has
anyone else has reported a similar set of problems privately? I have not seen
any references to this issue in the
Lindows
Insiders
forums.

I tried the same LOS 3.0 CD using the same hard drive in a friends PC
which had a Celeron 1GB cpu, 256 MB RAM, Intel main board,
and PCI display card. This installed without any
problems and gave a working
KDE
Desktop in about 15 minutes. This
seems to clear the drive & CD of having any
errors.
I then transferred this drive back to my PC "cromwell5b", and it
booted
straight into the Lindows
desktop. I configured both LAN and broadband network cards (with some difficulty
as eth01 was not recognised initially)
and
reb
ooted to pick these up. When it
rebooted I only got the tty1 login
again,
and it refused to run
X-Windows.
---------------------------------------------
It seems quite
clear to me that this is a bug in
LOS
recent distributions
i.e. 2.1 -> 3.0, as SPX 1.1.1 loaded OK.
I
have found several references on the Net that there is an Athlon/AGP issue in
the Debian Linux kernel relating to,
e.g.
