similar to: CentOS on HP EliteBook 6930 or Dell Latitude e6400

The issue presented itself sometime ago and I best dealt with it by remaining with version 3.83 of the SYSLINUX package.

I have a numbers of questions. I know about half of them are probably program related (World of Warcraft) but I figured I'd group them together for the most part. First the states. I'm using a Dell Inspiron Laptop (their Ubuntu line). I reinstalled Linux myself (had to redo the partitions) and dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7, Wow does work under Windows 7, but what's the fun in

Anyone had any success with or hints for a system based on the Asus P5B-VM DO board, or the Intel Q965 (with its associated Intel GMA 3000 VGA chip) in general? I had to put pci=nommconf in order to get the installer (CentOS 4.5) and the installed system to boot, but I can't get the graphics to work. Following the instructions at the Intel website

Recently, I decided to pull out a new model laptop for testing related to my job at work. Dell Latitiude E6400, BIOS A14.
