Hi.
My mom has a notebook that is quite quirky and I have had a hard
time trying to install any Linux distribution on it.
This is a notebook that works fine with Windows Vista, but she
wants to use Linux and wipe Windows completely. The notebook has
an nVidia C51 chipset (nForce), a "forcedeth" network card, with
a Geforce Go 6100 video card and an AMD Sempron 3400+.
After *many* trial and error sessions, I found that kernel 2.6.24 worked
with this notebook, but *anything* more recent (in particular, even Debian
stable is "too recent" for it) just made it hang right after the io
schedulers were set up.
In other words, a regression.
