The ISO image from that site showed the same errors as the standard 5.3-RELEASE CD. I could be wrong of course. My CPU turns out to be: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (1801.03-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "AutheticAMD" Id = 0xf4a Stepping = 10 And you are right, the laptop is built around a VIA chipset. Current problems with the machine includes non-working USB (not detecting new devices), non-working cardbus (complaining about Vcc request). I got the machine on tripple-boot (XP, FreeBSD 5.3 i386 and amd64). I am also thinking of installing 6-current (it is nice with big discs). /Kent Kent Palmkvist Electronics Systems Department of Electrical Engineering Linkoping University S-581 83 Linkoping Sweden Email: kentp@isy.liu.se Phone: +46 13 28 13 47 Fax: +46 13 13 92 82 www: http://www.es.isy.liu.se/staff/kentp
