Can any of you guys help please?
I trying to install redhat 6.1 on a Toshiba Tecra 8000.
Problems I'm having.
1. Won't recognise the network card
3Com Megahertz 3CCE589EC
2. Sometimes after booting but before can log in the
keyboard locks up (I don't boot straight into running X).
(IRQ conflict?)
3. When I do boot and get logged in the machine does a
disk write every 5 seconds or so. This is worse when
running X. Is this something to do with the way my particular
drive buffers data so that a sync always causes immediate
physical write because I have not had the problem on another
laptop I ran linux with. I've tried using
"update -f 300" in /etc/inittab to change the interval to longer
but this has no effect on the problem.
All advice welcome
Thankyou
Andy
