AMD64 mainboard with X-PCI ?
Hello, I do not find any AMD64(fx) mainboards with X-PCI Slots in Germany/ France. Only Opterons which are to expensive for a Workststion. I need a X-PCI slot because my Intel GBit NIC's. Can you tell me some mainboard types which support X-PCI ?

If you mean PCI-X (I've never heard of X-PCI), you probably won't get hold of a cheap motherboard with that. PCI-X is usually only available on server and workstation motherboards, which means Opteron in the amd64 world. But if you don't need to do more than about 30 MByte/s, a PCI-X card will fit in an ordinary PCI slot. /Mattias Wadenstein

(142 for less than 200 euros) I need a X-PCI slot because my Intel GBit NIC's. maybe you want to wait for some pcie boards that include (multiple) gigabitethernet chips onboard. such boards already exist for the the intel x86 plaform. maybe when vendors start shipping their pcie chipsets for x86-64, such boards might appear too. Can you tell me some mainboard types which support X-PCI ? i dont know about your details, but maybe its cheaper to go for some single-opteron (1xx-series) board with gigabit onboard and all that, than sticking to your old intel nic and waiting for some upcoming solution. the opteron 1xx-series are compatible with the amd64-fx ones if im not mistaken. for example the single socket boards from tyan http://www.tyan.com/products/html/opteron.html or others.
Re: Nvidia direct rendering in chroot
I dont have precompiled modules avaiable for the official kernels in the archive. You must build the kernel module package from the nvidia-kernel-source package. This package contains all you need to build the kernel module package for your kernel. You can use the make-kpkg or modules-assistant tools to build the debianized version of modules.

sound with sid and amd64 kernel
ALSA works pretty well with 32-bit user space and 64-bit kernel (so long as you have snd-ioctl32 loaded). However, the dmix plugin appears to be broken. Have any of you been able to get ALSA's dmix to work? Thanks, -s signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Yeah, that's right. I need a X-PCI slot because my Intel GBit NIC's. You can put PCI-X cards in PCI slots. We have two dual Athlon boxes each with an Intel dual E1000 server adapter in a PCI 64/66 slot and that works just fine. I haven't tried them in a PCI-32/33 slot, but I expect that would work fine, too. (that's at least the theory behind it).

I have done similar things over time, and although I have gotten slightly faster speeds (topping out at about 30Mbyte/s), that's about the limit. Same setup but using a 64/66 or better pci slot gets aroudn 100MByte/s throughput (athlon/p3/p4/whatever, that's not important here, pci bus is). /Mattias Wadenstein
K8S Pro (S2882UG3NR) + Sil 3114 (Raid 1) + Sarge
Hi eveybody on the list, I am trying to setup a Opteron box. I am having a hard time to setup Raid 1 on the sata drives connected to the sil3114 controller. The same system works under Suse Linux 9.0 perfectly fine. Now I try to make it a dual boot machine and get Debian on the box as well. I am using the Debian netinstall image (sid-amd64-netinst.iso) The Debian Installer seems to be fine until I get to the point harddisk configuration were it sees only the 2 sata drives separately. That should basically tell me that the sil3114 driver is either not included or not working the way I expect it to be. Does anybody have any ideas ? Feel free to leave your rant ;-) -- kind regards Nils Valentin Tokyo/Japan http://www.be-known-online.com/mysql/

Boot issues on Gigabyte GM-K8VM800M motherboard.
I am having issues booting a new machine with the latest boot images. I tried the ones from 20040826 and 20041022. The machine boots up and starts to load the kernel. After the initrd.gz is loaded the system reboots. I can not find any reference to this board or problem. Does anyone have similar experiences? Justin

Re: Matrox P650 and Athlon 64
Hello, Easy and reasonable are not what I would expect from this combo. Also, don't expect anything from Matrox. AFAIK they have not even published beta's for WinXP 64 let alone Linux. So, I conclude that waiting some time before actually trying to install 64bit on my machine is a good idea? What do you think, can I expect support for my graphic-card provided by a 64bit-X-Server at some time in the future, as some of the older Matrox-cards are supported in 32 bit? Speaking of their Linux-driver. It is buggy and has seen no release since last december. A few hints have been given in August that they are still working on a new driver, but I would not bet on that. Yes, especially some parts of its documentation where wrong, I trapped into some problems when installing it.
Re: AMD64 mainboard with X-PCI ?
There won't be any A64 boards with more than PCI 32-bit 33mhz. This is a chipset limitation as all current chipsets only support PCI 32-bit 33mhz. I have never seen a 32-bit 66mhz slot (doesn't mean it doesn't exist but highly unlikely on the A64 platform), most of the 66mhz devices are connected to 64-bit slots. Look for motherboards with the AMD-8131/8132 chipset but you'll most likely find them only on dual Opteron boards in EATX form factor.
