Red Hat 9 on the i845 chipset
by Jay on Mon 7th Apr 2003 18:17 UTC

I wanted to put a tip here. I'd been waiting for Linux distros to support the Intel 845 chipset for months. It seemed to me that this was the logical next set in the tradition of the 810 and 815. It took a long time though.

Red Hat 9 does support it. However, watch out for one thing. I don't know if this is due specifically to the chipset or the Compaq 7550 monitor I am using. At any rate, you install RH 9 and all seems to go well and, then, at reboot, the default bootloader, grub, hangs and all comes to a halt. If that happens to you under these conditions, during installation, choose LILO as your bootloader insteaf of Grub and all will be well.
