I've an HP Kayak with Matrox G200 8MB. After starting the X server the monitor looses signal. This happened the first time in the install process when doing "Test X Configuration". Could not even switch to virtual consoles. Had to reboot and reinstall. During second install avoided to test the X config but I was unfortunate to select as timezone UTC+1:00. Now the postinstall could not find the time zone file for UTC+1:00 and the install hung at this point (python error mentioning that file UTC+1:00 did not exist). Re-installed again (since not sure where in post install the things were stopped), setting timezone to a European city and not testing the X config. After booting I could not access the network. It turned out that/etc/sysconfig/network did not contain the gateway and gateway dev. Also/etc/resolv.conf had not the default search correctly set. This was easy to fix. However, the XF86_SVGA server still doesn't work. Under 6.0 it works fine and I use the same XF86Config. Anybody else seeing the same problems.
For any drivers for HP PC's see http://hp-linux.cern.ch/SupportTable.html. Also if you would like to monitor the fan speeds, temperatures and voltages of your Kayak, download the latest version of the lm_sensors kernel modules from http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/. In the lastest CVS version there is now a driver for the Kayak MaxiLife health monitoring system.
Our Linux cluster research project at CERN has been sponsored by HP for quite some time. The project is described at http://hp-linux.cern.ch/. One of the spin-offs of this project is the HP PC Linux support table and the development of the MaxiLife driver for the Kayak PC health monitoring system (driver now part of the lm_sensors code, http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/).
We at CERN do basically the same as the guys in Fermi Lab. To find out a bit more on how clusters are used in particle physics see http://hp-linux.cern.ch/.
