Install RH 9 on ASUS M2N notebook(M2474PDV)
In this short HOWTO, we have few tasks: (In fact, you have to do a lot of things...) 1. Install RH 9 on this elegant notebook. 2. Enabling ACPI for sound card, pc card and power management support. 3. Enable software suspend function on this notebook. My ASUS M2N SPEC. is: Centrino 1.4GHz 512MB DDR RAM 14.1 inches LCD 8x DVD drive 56Kbps Modem Realtek 8139 NIC XP Home edition(useless???) Before you start, I guess you need these: 1. RH 9 CD * 3 2. 2.4.22 kernel from www.kernel.org 3. acpi-20031002-2.4.22.diff.bz2 from acpi.sf.net 4. acpid-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm from acpid.sf.net 5. swsusp-2.0-rc2-whole.bz2 and suspend.sh (v0.16) from swsusp.sf.net 6. slmodem-2.9.2.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.smlink.com/linux/ Below are the procedures I have had done: 1. Install RedHat 9, with SWAP partition larger than your physical memory about 30% to 100%. ex. I have 512MB physical memory, so I give a 1GB SWAP on my machine. 2. untar your 2.4.22 kernel into /usr/src/ with command # tar zxvf 2.4.22.tar.gz -C /usr/...
