CoreBoot already boots Windows 7 Beta, as shown on this Slashdot article from January 2009:

Here's a direct link to the screenshots and...
If the onboard speakers seem too soft, you might need to crank up the "PCM" and "Front" settings using the "alsamixer" command-line utility instead of the default GNOME mixer.
If you really care about the data, boot from Mac OS X (ie. by re-installing it on an external firewire drive) and get one of the many shareware HFS+ recovery tools that run on OS X.
Since HFS+...
Open a bug report on http://bugzilla.kernel.org and email the details of your problem to linux-ide@vger.kernel.org .
Sounds like you may be running out of RAM. How big is the swap partition?
Also, try saving /var/log/Xorg.0.log and and /var/log/messages onto a flash drive and attach them to this thread.
Simply plugging the USB key while the computer is off in and then rebooting should work. If not, give 8.10 a try.
The only way I've found to reliably burn .dmg disks is using the "Disk Utility" that comes with Mac OS X. Do you have a friend with a Mac OS X computer that can burn the CD for you? Oh, and if you...
It's a fairly recent and powerful system, but Apple makes a lot of proprietary customizations to its hardware, so Ubuntu may not have optimized drivers for it.
Get the latest Ubuntu or Xubuntu from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com . Ubuntu should already come will all the needed drivers for your hardware :)
Give Intrepid a try once it comes out! It will certainly do WPA2 and WEP.
Given that there is no Flash version for PPC, I'd say you might be disappointed in Ubuntu. Blame it on Adobe/Macromedia's policy of making Flash closed source. As much as I love Ubuntu and Linux, OS...
To check whether a CD is good, insert it into another computer running Linux (it can be any old PC) and run the "md5sum md5sum.txt &> results.log"
Then look at the newly created results.log file...
Make sure you unplug all peripheral devices (USB, etc). Open Firmware on IMac G3's tends to fail to detect bootable CDs with you have non-Apple peripherals plugged in. For example, it kept spitting...
Make sure you unplug all USB devices except the Apple keyboard (which of course you need to use in order to press C).
My Blue iMac G3 used to spit out the boot CD every time, until I finally...
What kind of support are you looking for from AMD/ATI? If you ask on the Phoronix forum, you'll surely get an answer from bridgman, agd5f or mtippet, all of whom are AMD employees.
You can also...
If you'd bother to quote some examples from the article to support your assertions, perhaps they would be more that hot gas, but you can't because you're just making stuff up. To prove the point,...
Sure there is: AMD/ATI out-performs NVIDIA on all of the 2D benchmarks and half of the 3D benchmarks right now!
Dell has started selling only AMD/ATI discrete graphics cards for their Dell Inspiron 530N desktop computers, which come pre-loaded with Ubuntu. I hope System76 will follow Dell's lead in rewarding...
The fact that OpenFirmware was able to load the Linux kernel from the CD and execute it seems to indicate that the CD-Rom drive is working fine. Much more likely is that the ide/pmac.c driver that...
Thanks for the ad-hominem attack. If you don't agree with someone, just call him a troll, why don't you. Here is a list of the forum threads I contributed to, and yes, I do follow up.
Back in...
135 Linux Kernel developers and the Linux Foundation have signed a statement condemning closed-source, binary-only drivers like the one from NVIDIA.
Developers blame Nvidia for hindering Linux...
Try hooking your laptop to the internet and SSH-ing to it from another computer. Then attach the output of the following commands to this thread:
1) dmesg
2) cat Xorg.0.log
Also, does BIOS and...
A couple of quesitons and suggestions:
1) What type of "Integrated Wireless" do the laptops use? I suggest using an integrated card based on the Ralink 2500/RT2400 and Realtek RTL8180 chipsets....
