Re: Installing Debian-2.1 on a Compaq DeskPro EN Series Workstation
I have a number of Compaq Deskpro EN's and EP's. Everything works fine except
for one major problem: about 1 out of 3 times I boot the keyboard will go completely
dead (you can still logon through the network however). I'm not the only one who
had this problem, at the time I started working with these Compaqs I posted a few
messages on the web and got replies from other people reporting the same kind
of problems. We never figured out what was the reason. This was one of the reasons
why I finaly switched to buying Dell in stead of Compaq.
Anyway, I installed potato on a Deskpro EP 6350 and after some keyboard trouble
during installation it seems to run stable with kernel 2.2.13. However I'm not sure
whether this is coincidence or whether it realy got fixed.
Personaly I wouldn't go for Compaq.
