I have some more questions on this A7N8X deluxe MB.
I get this from dmesg
1)spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 most probably for parallel port. I couldn't get parport in lsmod. What to do?
2)my hdds has been recognised as ATA 100 ie udma 5 drives with my old MB intel815 chipset. Even with this MB, knoppix shows as udma5. What is stopping in mdk 9.1 from showing them as udma 5. in dmesg, I get line as
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
I have put in lilo.conf, append as below
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi idebus=100 acpi=off quiet"
did /sbin/lilo -v.
Still I get udma 2 only.
What to do?
I found that I had to install the Nvidia chipset driver - Linux nForce Driver Version: 1.0-0261
to get higher than udma2 for my Maxtor ATA133 hard drive
