Hi, I could finally get the full pass for branch-5-1 (r6812) on Fedora 8 X86. It seems to work just fine like all the other supported distros (Fedora 7, RHEL 4, RHEL 5, YDL5, and so on).
I know that we have to figure out how SIS can handle the SATA subsystem on Fedora 7 and Fedora 8 but other than this, Fedora is pretty good to go nnow. For more detail, http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08424.html As usual, here is the screenshot of the test of r6812 on Fedora 8 X86. http://www.osl.iu.edu/~dikim/oscar_test_f8.png Regards, - DongInn DongInn Kim wrote: > Hi, > > I have tested branch-5-1 (r6807) on Fedora 7 and everything seems to work > fine except for that SIS can not handle the new feature of the SATA subsystem > on Fedora 7 and 8.
