I have Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 motherboard with ATI RD790 chipset and a Phenom CPU. My system works well and pretty much out of the box with 64studio 2.1,Debian Etch and Lenny, Gentoo, Arch, Fedora, and even windows. The first 2 problems below also occur in Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid so I think are not 64studio problems.
- I didn't see/notice any option to choose where grub installed and it installed grub into my MBR overwriting my previous grub menu. I know how to fix this but unless I missed something obvious (this is quite likely :) ) I think it would be good to make the grub configuration options a bit more obvious if possible. - Drive ordering during install is different to ordering on installed system, leaving me with none of the options on the installer generated grub menu working. I have a PATA drive which contains all my boot partitions, and two SATA drives on which all my data is stored. In CMOS my PATA drive is configured as 1st drive. The PATA drive was configured as (hd2,5) by the installer but is in fact (hd0,5). I understand the reasons for this problem and will fix it on my system, but for a newbie I think it could be very difficult and is definitely not a good first impression of a newly installed OS. - I got errors checking md5sum and found I had to change images/64studio_3.0-beta2_amd64.iso to 64studio_3.0-beta2_amd64.iso in 64studio_3.0-beta2_amd64.iso.md5sum file before it would check correctly (I guess moving the iso into an images sub-directory would have worked too). - My system will not complete shutdown or reboot, last message on screen on reboot is [252.256466] restarting system. I have to power cycle or use hardware reboot as CAD doesn't work here.
