Glitches, with which I would be delighted to obtain feedback and/or advice:
1) In the boot screen, it tells me "CPU0 Memory information: single channel, 64-bits." I have 2Gb of DDR2 PC6400 (800MHz) memory - is this a problem, or does it mean something else entirely?
(ECS NFORCE4M-A m/b, Phoenix BIOS 6.00PG)
2) While the system is booting up, it tells me:
MP-BUG: 8254 timer is not connected to APIC
What does this mean and is there a way around it?
3) CentOS does not appear to have the drivers for my video card or monitor. I have an e-GEForce 7100gs card and an Envision en910e monitor (yeah, that old 19" CRT that has been working fine for 3+ years). How can I get more than 800x600 (need 1280x1024 to work properly? And please don't say buy a new monitor - no money for that for a while....
4) Here's the bad part (sort of) - I can't boot my Windows any more. It comes part way up and reboots, whether I try to run Safe Mode (hahahahahaha) or Crashing (I mean Normal) Mode. The video card is different, and I thought that might be the problem, but it should come up in safe mode no matter what - no video driver loaded. (I also went from a P4 to an Athlon 64 X2 - could that be part/all of it?).
Some of this might be O/T, so please point me at the right place if so (except that last one - there is no right place for that stuff....)-;
Thanks.
