Bare XP boots pretty quickly as long as the partition isn't fragmented. XP loaded down with all the garbage corporate IT usually makes you run is slow. I can boot and shutdown my Gentoo laptop almost 3 times in the time it takes my wife's XP to boot once (both are IBM T series, hers is a little newer).
no problem. If you ever want a hand working out a kernel config for your hardware let me know. One of the beauties of running gentoo is every kernel I run is custom.
i read all this shit about linux kernels hating dothan core procs. I havent done enough research to figure out why its not starting. If i spent some of my day at work researching that instead of talkin to yall, i might have a laptop with a decent linux install on it.
I am running a Dothan processor right now. Usually not booting is a matter of not getting the driver for something required on the MB (like the IDE controller). Comparing your kernel config to your lscpi output should show you what you need.
