by I'm having problems putting RH5.1 on my TI/Acer TravelMate 7000.
The laptop is a 166MMX, 32M ram, 2.1G hard drive, and I *think* it just
has PCMCIA (I don't have a CardBus card to confirm...) Win95 reports
very little about the chipset..only that it is a PCIC compatible PCI to
PCMCIA bridge.
From my previous experience with laptops, that alone made me cringe, but
it seems to work well enough under Win95.
Anyways, on to my problem.
I was able to repartition the drive and put RH5.0 on with no problems
(other than the video - NeoMagic - which I've read how to fix.) However
at work, we just got a 5.1 CD so I thought I'd give it a try.
After I select my keyboard, the screen scrolls and says:
Cirrus PD6729 found, 2 sockets
Sending termination
(Laptop reboots)
At first, I thought this was because of the PCMCIA card I had inserted -
a 3Com 3C589D (10Mbps card), so I removed it and tried again. Same thing
happend.
The TM7000 must be fairly new, as I've seen no information about it on
any Linux website (yes, I found the Linux Laptop page). Even Acer has
no information on this thing...what is it, a stealth laptop? ;)
Again, 5.0 installation went just fine.
