Omen.com is now running FC5 on a Celeron 2000. I had to set the motherboard to legacy IDE mode as FC5 simply couldn't hack the advanced mode where all the drives are accessible. Mixed IDE and SATA is Windows country.
I had to compile ImageMagick from the original sources in order to get gpsmap to compile. I was also able to compile Xephem after loading various libraries.
I never got Linux to run on my Intel based office system. So I sold the motherboard and got an AMD based motherboard. After some shuffling of drives I was able to load either FC5 or Opensuse 64 bit. AMD is Linux country.
During this adventure the Windows partition on my office system had become unbootable. I ran Windows Rescue and ran the boot repair programs. This resulted in a partition talble the the FC5 installer refused to read. Suse could read it but it was somewhat garlbed and installation was impossible. Insert Live Linux was able to read and write it without difficulty. Eventually I used the FC5 installer to nuke the partition table and things have been peaceful since.

I was not aware of that. Ignorance is bliss I suppose: 2 SATA drives and one IDE drive on FC$ then FC5.

Was that really necessary? A little patience can solve a lot. I had the same problem. (I keep WinXP around to play Age of Empires) Turned out Grub had the wrong partion info in grub.conf to boot Windows, so it was completely missing ntldr.

That is to be expected (not claiming that it should be _accepted_)

Running Windows is a bitch, I know :)

no intel poblem here on at least 10 servers (proxy, router, firewall, ...) 80 clients 20 notebooks
