RE: IRQ Conflicts ?
I'm not exactly in the loop of this thread so I apologize if posting out of
turn.....
My only previous post was to report no sucess with Debian on my Vaio
PCG-FX220....that is no longer true :-)
I had reported being able to install RH7.2 from CD very easily, everything
just worked...Debian would get through the install, but couldn't survive a
reboot, kernel panics no matter what I tried....
Got me to thinking I'd try a 2.4 kernel as RH had...lo and behold I'm a
happy camper with 2.4.17....except for sound I now have Debian on my Vaio.
(I think that if I just spend some time reading about Alsa I can make it
work) Haven't tackled PCMCIA yet, but my wireless card is coming...
Much happier as I'm more familar with dselect then any package mtce tools in
RH...been a Debian user since .9ish... buzz/hamm/bo and the rest... thank
you Debian developers!
Cheers,
Rich
