Hello! I have noticed that my installation notes didn't go into the Mobo Compat List...
Here they are again: System: DFI LanpartyUT nforce3 250gb AMD Athlon64 [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDE NEC 3500 DVD Burner 200GB SATA HDD For the Mainboard Compatibility list: ata: ? (probably nforce - worked right away) ata raid: I dont use it sata: sata_nv scso: - network: forcedeth (nv_net - the nvidia binary driver should also work, didnt test it though) sound: intel8x0 Installation notes: 1. I used the latest pure64 netinst iso. 2. First of all, my USB Keyboard didn't work during the installation, although my BIOS should make it usable - I could type on the boot prompt, but not in the installer. 3. The installer recognized my Firewire port as network device, but not the onchip NIC. I had to switch to a console and manually load the forcedeth driver. then I used ifconfig to start the eth1 device (not sure if the installer could have done that too..) 4. I used XFS for my root partition. 5. First I had problems with GRUB, wich seems to have trouble on XFS partitions, so I created a 20MB /boot partition with ext2 (during the second installation - grub ruined the first one) 6. After the computer was rebooted to finish the installation, I kept reading messages about sata drives being added and removed again (I forgot the actual wording of the message) - they messed up my whole screen. I found some posts about that problem in the internet and found the solution: After disabling all unused SATA channels/controllers in my BIOS, the error message was gone. regards Jonas PS: Please CC me in replies.
