Hi:
    I post this because I experience numerous failure when installing =
Linux (Distribution: Red Hat 6.1 from Cheap byte)  It crash when the =
actual transfer of the package from CD to HD.  The only work around I =
got right now is reduce the partition of Linux to use less than the 1024 =
cylinder.

    Is there a patch or something that allow UDMA 66 and larger =
partition? ( I can only use the fdisk program back in RedHat 5.1 to =
partition my HD, than go back to install 6.1)

    Also, is there are know problem w/ Athlon CPU?

    Thanks
