[gentoo-user] Acer 5103 WLMi laptop

2006-12-04 Thread Ian Porter

Hi All,

I have just purchased an new Acer laptop, 5103 WLMi and I am using 
gentoo on my desktop machine but would like to have an dual boot on the 
laptop as well.


I have tried the am64 since it dual turion 64 processors, but get kernel 
panics.  Was just wondering if there is any advice on what install CD to 
use and also any advice on setup (wireless broadcom BCM 41xx series) and 
also if there is any major binaries that I could use to get the system 
up and running without the laptop burning up from compiling ? (KDE 
binaries preferably)


Purchased from (http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-8758.aspx)

Thanks
Ian

I had good luck going to http://gentoo-wiki.com/Index:Hardware and looking 
at laptops generally similar to mine. Looks like there's a bit of info on 
the 5102 WLMi, and links to other sites that might have useful additional 
info. I also found it useful to put up my notes on my own laptop there, in 
case other people would find it useful, and so that I could find info 
again.
