As of April 10, 2007: 7.04 with 2.6.20-14 kernel and latest synaptic updates is much improved over my earlier complaints.
The good news is: 1 I was able to load LiveCD, install to SATA primary and do on-line updating. 2 My secondary IDE master hard drive is now accessible and readable. I haven't tried executing installed distros there yet. 3. Your newer 8187 wifi module is working fine as far as I can tell. The remaining not-so-good news is: 1 Even though I have 512k of ram with 32k given to video, my Live cd install was iffy because free mem was only about 6k. Not enough for Firefox and console together, for example. 2. My secondary IDE slave cdrw is *not* accessible, even though /etc/fstab expects it at /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom (or cdrom0). There is no /dev/scd0 entry. 3. Boot-up is extremely slow, 3-5 minutes, but seems much longer. A similar condition on PCLinuxOS with 2.6.18 kernel exists. On that distro, I can see the boot time hang-up is the result of three unsuccessful tries at reading ide drive parameters. yeti -- ide secondary drives not recognized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
