I've experienced weird results depending on the version of linux and the laptop.
I have a Compaq Presario 1260 laptop. I tried three different versions of RH
and two versions of SuSe. The only version of Linux I could get the sound card
to work properly under was RH Linux 7.3 (using an sb driver), so far. I
currently have the latest RH loaded on it, but haven't tried configuring the
sound card yet. I'm new to Linux, so this has been a major pain.
The restore CD's and it will rebuild a service partition. An easy way to test
if the service partition is actually needed is to fdisk a spare hard drive, load
an OS, and boot from it.
Since the days of 486 computers, I've yet to see a machine that needs the
service partition. All service partitions I'm aware of just have diagnostic
utilities and allow you to change the BIOS from a software interface.
