 |

I'm trying to get my Sager 5660 notebook up and running with gentoo and I'm stalled a little building a kernel for it. I'm trying to get all my hardware up and running as fully as possible.
This is my lspci:

Since this is the first time I've tried getting laptop hardware running with linux. Can anyone offer me any help? Like where can I find the patches I need to get these various controllers up and running (mainly the intel 845 so I can have DMA on my harddrives..)
Any help would be appreciated! |

I don't think you'll need any patches to get the intel 845 running.
I'm running gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8 on a Dell Inspiron 8500 which also uses the intel 845 chipset. Working like a charm here.
For DMA just enable it in your kernel config and then use hdparm to tune your disk.
cheers
