CentOS - Apr 2005 - Intel motherboard BOXD915GAVL very slow with centos 4

All,

I am installing a BOXD915GAVL system and centos 4.
The CPU is a 2.8 GIG celeron D with 1GIG memory and 120GIG Seagate drive.

Is is VERY slow. What gives?

Any other experience with something like this?

It is installing but even after install when booting it
is taking VERY long time to even get to the Checking new hardware screen.

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry:

I've got an 815, and a 915 at home, and they both work fine.  I'm really
not sure about this one.

Two bits of advice:

1) -- get and apply the BIOS update from Intel.  That solved our performance 
problems with 915-based systems for both RHEL 3.4 and 4.0 systems.

2) -- don't send HTML email to mailing lists.

Happy Hunting.
