This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------7C12C6964A3402A593620FDA Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit (I blame) sis630 and lack of APM (AMI BIOS r1.07) I have had real problems with this thing. No APM "incorrect signature (0x0)" in dmesg. Under 4.7/8 I can't get pcmcia working. USB will not reset. Actually there are many problems since It does not know it has been asleep I guess. The disk controller under 4.7 says there is a bad cable (or "non-ATA66 cable") so it does not enable Ultra DMA. Instead it falls back to 33mhz. I have read other lists stating that the sis5591 ata controller is new but backwards compatible (not) with the 5591. Under 5.0 the only way to make it boot is to disable ACPI all together. Otherwise while the disks are being probed it locks up. So I have never had fun with this thing. Sis630 chipset. pcmcia (02micro 6912 PCI-Cardbus Bridge) stuff seems to work a lot better under 5.0. It does not work under 4.8-stable. I have not tested the usb under 5.0 but under 4.8-stable it will work for a little while and then stop. You have to reboot to get it back. I caught one panic in dmesg but it was probably my program. It talks to some sockets and the network basically. gpsd (GPS Daemon) does a terrible job listening to ucom0. I am using uplcom/ucom for serial communications. I have to run at 4800 baud. I am not sure it is supported by either the device or the driver.... but it works for a while. Has anyone else had luck with this machine? I actually got a hardened version of it with 40gb disk (5400rpm), fire wire and integrated 802.11b. But not worth the 1300 payed so far. Is there anyone out there that can help me out. I am a little stupid. Things seems a little more hopeful on the linux front. But man I have written some crappie mapping coordinate grabber that depends on bpf. If this link works..... Here it is. http://www.samsclub.com/eclub/main_shopping.jsp?mt=a&n=0&BV_SessionID=_SC_0474681676.1047332546_CS_&BV_EngineID=ccccadchjmhdiejcfkfcfkjdgoodfkg.0&coe=0&oidPath=0%3a-23542%3a-23588%3a-24196%3a684722 So I was thinking about getting this instead. But I am of course worried about the sis650 chipset now. My boss is trying to convert me to using Debian and I just don't want it. Any thoughts on the following hardware or is it a total crap shoot? I have looked at the Hardware pages and cant find the sis650. A really really cool machine.... Includes built int camera, bluetooth, 802.11b, s-video out and serial port! http://64.227.236.145/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RT&Product_Code=NP4020 I am not on this list so please respond to my email.
