Hi Chris,
Comments in-line:
hmm, is this a pcmcia card? I have bluetooth but no firewire :-(
yes, they are both PCMCIA cards (the IBM is one of the few machines that still have 2 slots, I guess - one of the reasons, I bought it). I have no bluetooth installed at all.
I have the internal IPW2100 card up and running so I can sit in theiving room and watch TV while using the machine ;) - in 11 mbit mode801.11b, not g).
ah, I have the atheros card (a/b/g) which seems to work very well with the madwifi code.
I had to d/l the firmware and had to build the kernel module initially. Later FC3 kernels seem to have the module built in.
The only other piece of extra hardware is a Logitech USB optical mouse.
can't see the mouse making much of a difference
I didn't think it would make a difference either. Would be quite a blunder if somebody messed that up ;).
Here is a listing of enabled services: K01yum K50netdump S09isdn S54hpoj
... The list of services looks roughly equiv.
I'm not sure, how much trouble VMWare is - it's telling me when I start it up, that it hasn't been certified on this kernel.
Yeah, that should be fine... those warning statements are more of a "CYA" clause then anything else. I'm told that versions of VMware workstation before VMwareWorkstation-4.5.2-8848 had troubles but this version works well for me.
That's what I thought, too.
I have the bluetooth, acpi, modem all working and can share code/configs. The only trouble I had with acpi was a local mysql server running seems that it needs to be stopped before hibernating. pmail me for any of the configs and best of luck.
I have not used the modem at all. The internal ethernet card (Gigabit wired) is working just fine, too. All my configs are stock standard, except ntp config where I set up a few other non-redhat time servers.
Maybe the crashes are just part of the package deal for teying to be at the bleeding edge?
Thanks for the help, Chris
