Chipset cannot support APM function so is there any alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fahd Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I meet alike problems on diffirent chipset pc, unfortunately mandrake linux can only be install and start up on a lot of pc-es, but not on every pc(du to kernel and kernel modules). I have already mentioned this problem on my messages, sent to mdk linux expert. It seems mdk linux will never recover this drawback. MS-Windows is neither stable nor reliable, but it STARTS UP on every intel-colony pc. Be patient. Fahd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
