I recently purchased an HP Pavillion a1130e which has a 64-bit AMD processor. I have partitioned the hard drive and have it dual booting XP and Fedora Core 4 64. This machine is using an ATI chipset with on-board video, sound, and ethernet. I have the video working (vesa...ugh), the Ethernet just worked, the sound just worked, and I had to boot with ACPI-off to get the SATA drive to show up.
My next challenge is to get the 9-in-1 card reader on the front panel to work. My wife has an older AMD based system (also HP) with a very similar "Front Productivity Panel" on it. I have tried Knoppix-live, UBUNTU, and others in the past with no luck at all. Now With my own system, I would like to see what can be done. I see nothing in DMESG or /var/log/messages that would sound like the card reader or activity on any hardware when I plug in a flash card or an SD card.
I have done various google searches and have come up empty....Oh, it works when I boot into XP.
Anyone ever get this working or have ideas about where else to look for clues?
Thanks,
Rick
