 RH9 on toshiba I have RH7 on my Toshiba satellite pro 460CDX. It has been running fine. I am now trying to install RH9 on the same laptop. After going thro' all the initial screens, formatting the partitions and selecting the packages, I get the error 'The hardware you are using is not supported by the current version of RH'. It does not say which one is incompatible. I have tried server install, custom install with and without the X-server install. But no use. (The hardware probe did recognize the video card, Chips & Tech 655xxx) Does anyone know what is it that is different between RH7 and 9 as far as hardware requirements are concerned. Or is there any other work around. Thanks NS      |

I installed RedHat 8 on similar Toshiba laptops as detailed here: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...t.net&oe=UTF-8 The laptops I was working with had CPU of 300 and 266 MHz. Perhaps the CPU is too slow to run RH9. My first step was to update the system bios. I think this links to an update for your system: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...ngdglk.0&ct=DL --Douglas Mayne |
