Hi ppl,
So here goes....I installed debian/unstable on HPnx9110 and
almost everything works fine, except....
1. The first line after lilo ('Loading Linux......') takes
ages. The dots appear one after the other so slowly, it
painful to watch it. The normal boot process appears to be
slower than other computers too considering this is 3.2GHz,
and other processes run fine and fast.
2. I dont have DRI working. I have tried everything possible
to get it running....but no use. lspci shows
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc:
Unknown device 5835
www.pcidatabase.com does not have device number 5835, while
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?i=1002 shows device no,
5835 as Radeon 9100/M IGP, while HP claims it Mobility Radeon
9000 IGP. Anyways, the long and short of it is that it isnt
supported yet. Is there anything I could do to get it running
with full DRI. (even fglrx doesnt work with it).
3. And this probably the most suprising of all. I dont get
alsa if I connect the ethernet cable first. If i connect the
ethernet cable after the alsa script has run, then I'm
fine. But if i connect the cable right in the beginning, then
cat /proc/asound/cards shows No cards detected. But when I
have alsa running,if I
run xmms (or any audio app) from the terminal, I get IRQ #5
disabled, but everything works fine. Does that have anything
to do with it?
4. What is SMBus. Do I need some kinda driver for that, whats
its purpose?
I have attached both lspci -v and dmesg output

5. It would be great if I could resolve these issues with the
help of the debian community....thanks in anticipation

I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
