RH9 and EP-MVP4M

[Geoff Thurman]

I'm trying to install RedHat 9 on a machine with an Epox EP-MVP4M 
motherboard, but it isn't happening. The error message says that the 
machine is not supported. I'm not very technically minded, but since 
pretty much everything is onboard the problem can only be the 
motherboard itself or the Western Digital 20gb hd, as far as I can see. 
Or the memory, I suppose. I have 128mb, with 8 of this stolen by the 
graphics. The only setting I have changed is the onboard sound, which I 
cancelled when I put a soundcard in. The processor is an AMD K6 2 . The 
monitor, mouse, and keyboard are being identified okay, but when it gets 
to data being written to the hd, rh9 goes into deep sulk mode.

What is the situation with Epox and Linux, and more specifically the 
EP-MVP4M and RedHat 9? Are there ways round my problem? I would be 
grateful for any advice given. As you can probably tell, I am a complete 
newbie - or would be if I could load the os. I have put a similar post 
on an Epox forum, but received no replies yet. Is it a driver issue, or 
a patch issue, or do I simply have a machine that isn't going to run 
rh9? I looked at google before I started, and saw a post from somebody 
saying he had Linux running fine on an EP-MVP4A, but can find no mention 
of my own mb that is in English. And the Linux was not necessarily rh.
