The Athelon cpu runs very hot. I had one on an Asus MB that toasted the whole shooting match cause the fan (came with the cpu in OEM packaging) broke off the socket and melted down the cpu. I have since taken to installing monster fans and heat sinks. That works fine. When in doubt, throw i

Resolved but not solved "Unable to handle kernel paging request"

2000-02-17 Thread Bob Brown
I re-compiled the kernel and it is working... When I removed the sdram I forgot that I had added an append to lilo.conf. Would that have caused the kernel to crash so utterly and completely? Thank God for the rescue disk...

I've installed Hamm from a cd.  I need to upgrade X to 3.3.5 so it will support my i740 video card.  It would be nice to install StarOffice51, but that won't happen cause it needs glibc.  How can I get to where I need to be?
