Hi Shanker,
You have got me totally wrong. In fact I am guilty of not framing my reply properly.
To be frank I had tried only SuSE 6.3 on Intel 810 board which worked fine. No idea
about Red Hat 6.2 on the 810 motherboards. What I meant was if they have given on the
CD with Intel support than it should have worked out of box. Missed out on different
makes of intel 810 boards. I am Guilty here.
However PCQ has done a great job by putting the new kernel on their next CD. I have
compiled them on Suse 6.3 too at home. The new kernel supports intel 810, I personally
don't have any experience in this regard. No access to Intel 810 machines to try Linux
installation.
I am also a avid reader and user of PCQ CD's for the last 5 years. It is fantastic
mag., no doubt about it.
Cooooooool down guys.
Warm Regards
Rajesh
