17 Oct 2007 HP Compaq 8510p hardware list in linux

You can use lspci -n to analyce what hardware is on your system. My new laptop a HP Compaq 8510p gives the following output:

Copy the result from the above command and visit the address Debian GNU/Linux device driver check page and paste it into the window.

This makes it easier to determine which device drivers I’m missing and might have to compile for the kernel.

28 Sep 2007 Ubuntu Linux 7.10 Beta on HP Compaq 8510p (laptop)

I experienced problems booting the install-CD for both Ubuntu 7.04 and Fedora Core 7 on my HP Compaq 8510p laptop because the kernel didn’t have the correct SATA driver, so I decided to try the beta of Ubuntu 7.10.

The booting problem was fixed on 7.10 Beta and the installation process halted at 88% “importing documents and settings”.

The solution I came up with was to disable the migration tool and then run the installer from a terminal window with the following option:

ubiquity --no-migration-assistant
