Fedora Core2 Freezes on Dell Lattitude LS400

[Jose Moreno]

I loaded Fedora Core2 from the ftp.redhat.com site on my dell
latitude.
it loads up until the Login screen, then once i enter my username and
password, it freezes midway through. I tried KDE and GNOME and they
both freeze

any ideas why? i'm eager to get started with Linux.

Display is a NeoMagice MagicGraph256AV
Pentium 3

it works fine on Windows XP. i hate xp though :-0

Hi,

There was a problem with the NeoMagic MagicMedia 256 sound driver in
kernels 2.6.6-1.440 and earlier, see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121601

This is fixed both upstream in the Linus kernel, and in Red Hat Fedora
kernels as well.  If you get a newer kernel (I know that 2.6.7-1.488
works for example) your laptop will not freeze, but your sound might
also not work.  I have not been able to get actual sound out of the
laptop, but at least it doesn't freeze.
