If Linpus Lite works but Fedora/Debian/Grml/... don't it shouldn't be a problem with RAM, though running memtest won't hurt. :) Check whether the IDE/SATA configuration in BIOS got changed, looks like a change from AHCI to IDE mode (or something like that) or the other way arround for me. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
