so turns out redhat doesn't like the ati radeon 9200 se. but...
i managed to salvage an old nvidia geforce mx2 card i had lying around, and it supports advance mame perfectly! meaning i can continue with my original plan of transferring the bootable cd to the hard disk. the card actually works really well, the games play super smooth. at the moment i've got the table booting off a cd, but i'll solve that issue shortly.
i will need to tweak the advance mame settings for it's display and the controls as they don't seem to be the default mame keys and the joysticks and buttons are configured for the default mame config. i'll either need to adjust advance mame or just program the controllers. i am leaning towards the latter as i can setup hotkeys, meaning i can press start 1 and coin 1 to shutdown the table, etc, etc. it's all really coming together nicely :)
