Hi all, I have encountered 2 problems in installing RH 8.0 on a Dell Inspiron 2500 pentium III laptop 1. The X-server always crashes when I try to start X after installation. I have done a re-install with low-res option, same result. I can run the laptop at runlevel 3, it seems normal. During the installation the screen text and graphics looked very good, and the external mouse and touchpad worked normally. 2. I found that "bringing up eth0" always gave the result "failed" . (The ethernet card does work as the laptop connects with internet via ADSL under windows). According to the specs, the network card is: "Data/fax network adapter: optional 10/100 LAN + 56K, V.90 mini-PCI card modem". I did a search of experiences with this laptop using linux and found the Debian module eepro100 works to support eth0 in this laptop in Debian linux. In Mandrake linux the eth0 (eepro100) loads automatically. Is there a reason why the network card might not be recognized? Any advice would be much appreciated.
