Installing Linux on HP E60

[Debasish Kundu]

I tried to install Redhat 7.0 on HP e60. But at the very beginning, it is probing for a ai7xxx SCSI driver, then it hangs. Can anyone help me out.
Thanx in Advance

Hi,

This is known problem of agpgart & E60 on RH7.

First, you boot up the system like
lilo : linux init=/bin/bash rw

Then you may edit agpgart related lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

# Load agpgart here. This is a hack, and will probably go away soon.
if grep "driver: agpgart" /etc/sysconfig/hwconf >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
modprobe agpgart >/dev/null 2>&1
fi

make 3 lines comment from "if" to "fi".

Then reboot your system.
That's all

On RH7.1, this problem has been fixed.

Is it at all possible to get AGP to work on the E60. I have experienced the same problem with the lockups using both debian(with custom kernel) and RH7.1. When i `insmod agpgart` the machine just stops. Is there any solution to make the E60 work with AGP? Thanks.
