old blog at http://computerroriginaliascience.blogspot.com/2007/01/installing-linux-on-dell-optiplex-320.html suggest to boot with the pci=nomsi kernel parameter (F6 in Ubuntu I think to edit boot parameters). But according to this blog, expect others problems after that. This is suppose to fix: The SATA hard drive was not recognized during the install.
Many says that you are better to use lilo than grub with this computer. http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=86689 suggest to use: irqpoll psi=nomsi pci=noacpi nolapic noapic but maybe this in too much restrictive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/138305 seems to suggest to use: hpet=disable Hope this can help you... don't hesitate to give feedback! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
