The most common form of problem when attempting to install or use Linux
|
|
is an incompatibility with hardware. Even if all of your hardware is supported
|
|
by Linux, a misconfiguration or hardware conflict can sometimes cause
|
|
strange results---your devices may not be detected at boot time, or
|
|
the system may hang.
|
|
<P>
|
|
It is important to isolate these hardware problems if you suspect
|
|
that they may be the source of your trouble. In the following sections
|
|
we will describe some common hardware problems and how to resolve them.
