Hi, John. "Jon Wilson" > Thanks for clearing up a load of things. The model number is somewhat > confusing.

"make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install". > If you miss out dep it can get funny and sometimes clean can help if you > have changed settings since the last build. In the meantime I was able to build a kernel and run it but it is still not working well, I tried 2.4.17. Yes, I ran through these steps, my mistake was to use the "kernel configurator" instead of "make xconfig". > As for the USB there are two > types (OHCI and UHCI me thinks), you sure you are using the right one? UHCI is what I am using. > Please keep me posted on how you get on. I gave up. I have measured performance, the Bridge is not supported (unknown) and the machine as whole seems to be dead slow under Linux. I played with hdparm -c1 -A1 -d1 /dev/hda and performance increased a little bit. Overall the system seems to be running with brakes engaged all the time, so I give up. > Many thanks. > Jon > P.S. What are the implications of using the VESA drivers for the display? Slow.
