Re: RH 8.0 / Gateway Install Problems

[Andrew Schaeffer <schaeffe dickinson edu>]

I am having the exact same problem on a Gateway i purchased acouple of
years ago.  Makes me think it might be some hardware compatability issues
with some piece of hardware gateway was using cause I just installed it on
a new gateway.
any thoughts on what it may be???
