Various computer installs and results.

[Jim Cornette <fct-cornette sbcglobal net>]

First test was with an XP guest and installing clean. The install went 
fine. On a reboot, the kernel did panic.

Second test was an upgrade on a Dell w/ the 828656 graphics controller. 
All went well with this upgrade.

Installing on a Rocky 3705 SBC w/ an SIS630E chipset. This installation 
took well. There was no problem.

Next with a nova-7895 SBC. SIS 630ST chipset. The installation went 
without flaws also.

Now, with the computer with the 815 chipset. I started to do a graphics 
install. I got as far as the portion where the installations were 
detected. I then tried to do a clean istallation. I had colored lines 
running across my monitor and had to alt-sysreq-b and the computer 
rebooted. Trying a graphics installation again. I did not even get as 
far as previous before the colored lines striped my monitor. 
alt-sysreq-b rebooted the computer. Now proceeding to do a text upgrade 
on one of the installations. This seems to be proceeding normally.

After doing a few fresh installs, I think that the default background 
image makes a great representation and is a good choice. As far as the 
clean installations done today. All of them were allowed to 
automatically partition the disk and installed LVMs for volumes. This 
went smoothly for a fresh install.

I have not inserted the radeon 7200 graphics controller to test this 
card yet. I plan on trying this later to see if I also get the sassar 
type reboot problem that was mentioned earlier.
