Generic USB expansion PCI Card Pentium IV 2.4GHz 2GB RAM HP DVD Writer 1040r NEC CD-RW NR-9100A 6GB WD WD64AA ATI Radeon 9200 (AGP) ZoneNet 10/100 Wireless NIC LinkSys 10/100 wired NIC Monitor: CTX LCD No floppy disk drive (none hooked up anyway) ZIP100 internal drive (not hooked up to anything) None of the attached hardware I saw specifically listed as being compatible, but none of it listed as incompatible, either. The two optical drives are known to work (obviously if I can get so far as attempting to load the kernel). The only thing I can think of is the hard drive (unknown previous working condition, although claimed to be in good order). Just to test, though, I'm going to swap out the CD-RW for a 52x CD-ROM. I have no other hard drives to test with (my 32GB drive, known to work, is MIA). --=20 PIT --------------enig04BF7B6E50E71C8468D6EB7E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJLRhj2AAoJEENZQ8DH7rW0aKAH/RAw47SMH81shryk4MODSzNp aLkr/XXvsEPZOlquN4ITmOlwfObqOtUHV4diHls8S5E9jhgt8CjELOjxBI2VQjA3 xtRRj0N+NK8/OHygIyxRs6zgeDbKru7bk1n3vOGo+CU+uii1uc82hCFxh8tezwLS j1d5XjuG1J8l6UKlH0BZNDk5pdW2MT+NU4OlYuuPMs4OcUFIVzZy87tiYXGziXD3 rAotR6kBicFg9C4xeBYtWV9UqS73PVOmq2lT871UFTL2feyKOCKDgW/a/ccpX6gW GPRRYR9Bw+wua27G0DschkB1LOGSJb24j3IZRR5TOzdIHKcb41dzSjVhjoBD+xw= =ZwWG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig04BF7B6E50E71C8468D6EB7E--
