Hello Brynet, thanks for the suggestion, I just finished installing 4.5-current using a snapshop, the BIOS did not have option for P&P unfortunately. With this version I am having more problems, I still have the reboot problem when trying to execute Xorg, and still running Xorg under ktrace mak

I just ran Xorg under ktrace and it worked! (and so did pcidump -vv) and there is an error message that might be the cause of the reboots: "mtrr set failed: Operation not supported" The machine has no external cache and if I am not mistaken L1 started with P6 (this is a Pentium 120MHz), so the er

Hi, Sorry it took me so long to reply. I ran pcidump for every pci entry/device and none of them rebooted the machine, even non existent devices were reported as such (see end of the message attached). Sounds like a loop going astray?. If you have a pcidump with debugging symbols around I am hap

Hello, I ran "pcidump -vv" as instructed and it also rebooted the machine, but it produced some output before that (which I have attached), and this output stops in the "Chips and Technologies 65550" section, the last few lines of the section are missing. I went back to Xorg and ran it in gd

Hi Tenoch, I'm the proud owner of several early P1-class systems like that, PCI interrupt routing is always.. sketchy. Some other options you might wish to try: * Look in the BIOS for a setting similar to "Plug & Play OS", set that option to "No".. this will force the BIOS to setup some hardware

Hi Matthieu, thanks a lot for your message. After running memtest, I installed 4.2 yesterday again just to make sure that the laptop does work (someone suggested a memory problem), it does work fine with 4.2, so I am in the process of re-installing 4.5. I will try your suggestions and post the

Hello, I just installed version 4.5 on a very old laptop (Texas Instruments Extensa 605CD), it was happily running 4.2 before. All the hardware seems to be recognised correctly on both versions but I am having a strange problem when trying to configure Xorg, the command "X -configure" reboots
