Greetings! I know this is a classic problem but I don't know how (or if) it can be circumvented.
I've bought a nice new laptop and have partitioned it with win95 and OS/2 and thought I'd make a trio and put Linux on it. (Note: I'm not a _complete_ newbie to Linux - I've recompiled the kernel and futzed about but I'm not a veteran either; my domicile is in OS/2 land.) When I use my trusty bootdisk (which I made months ago for my desktop machine), it _hangs_ on the error: WARNING: UNKNOWN PCI DEVICE (1039:5107). PLEASE READ INCLUDE/LINUX/PCI.H The system, purchased from AT-Computers (http://www.montananet.com), is: Sager Computers Laptop (NP6287A) P166MMX PnP System Soft SiS-510X (6x00-05-13) BIOS Ver: 1.01.26 05-13 Date: 06/16/97 Is there hope for a workaround? If I can't run Linux I have to consider returning the system. Probably won't return it but is that the prospect I'm facing? Can I find something in pci.h - I haven't had a chance to look on my desktop machine - which I could remove and still boot? (Oh, and I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I'd _really_ appreciate some help.
