Hi all, I am new to this maillist. I do not know if
linux can support intel 870 chipset now? If can,
where can I download the kernel for it? If someone
knows, please help me. Thanks in advance!

Download the base kernel from:

    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2

and the IA64 patch from:

    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.4/linux-2.4.20-ia64-021210.diff.gz

This should support the Intel 870 chipset, though I don't have such
a machine and can't test it directly.
