''I have one of these, eventually managed to install RH9 on it. The answer to the immediate problem is linux nomce ide=nodma pci=off at the install prompt after the CD boots. See these helpful guides in the wilderness.... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=n1015v+linux+pci&btnG=Google+Search http://tooleweb.homelinux.com/EvoN1015v/ You can get it all working, even 3D and xv in the end (although I seem to recall having to compile XFree86 from CVS for those).''
