Yes, and Irongate systems will run Linux, i know i have one. Old is
not necessarily low price / low end.
This was a Dell Dimension desktop.
Sorry my foul-up - HP Pavillion (the only real difference is where the
headquarters are anyways ;-)
Gee, i thought that it was HP and Compaq that merged. Maybe i have misread |
the press.

I finally upgraded my RH9 to FC4 and was happy to see ACPI
actually power off my machine when I did a shut down.
Well that was yesterday. Today no such thing. I have been tweaking
things to get things back to my comfort zone, but only with
applications. What did I do?
Obviously, you upgraded the kernel. The ACPI version is different
in the two logs.
duh..yum did it. When I boot on the 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 kernel acpi
comes up.
There is nothing in the grub menu.lst to turn of acpi. Also the
spec sheet says the motherboard supports ACPI.
I hope this is not an Asus motherboard?
I am not sure what it is. The box is a HP Pavilion 9695C. The
closest I can get to a specification for the motherboard is:
Read - lowend name brand consumer desktop - just the *wrong* type of
computer to try to run linux on as stated before.
Yes I am pathetic. I resurrect these things and put them to good use.
Afterall, one can't put XP on this thing.
Hmmm. I thought that you could run XP all the way down to socket 370
MOBO's. Irongates should run ok, albeit slowly. Must support 256 MB
ram.
Try putting XP on a 486 machine sometime - not going to happen. 98SE
runs on a 486 though - *real* slowly ;-)
So what. I can get a linux system running nicely on it. This c.o.l.h. |

It was - correction HP *bought* Compaq (which bought Digital...) The
point was that there is no significant difference between name-brand
machines at that price level.
