Re: Abit AV8 Gigabit Ethernet
I'm using several Abit AV8 and KV8-Pro systems (nearly identical), some with dual boot setups. I haven't faced any issues so far. I never cared much for discover though, I just have the module via-velocity listed in /etc/modules. Discover does have several issues. Granted - it's a great idea to make things easier in some cases and for many new users, but it's very little trouble going around it when it fails.

Re: Abit AV8 Gigabit Ethernet
I sent a bug report to the discover-package. It's just not discovered during boot, but the driver loads and it works. When starting debian installer, just switch to second terminal with alt-f2 and issue "modprobe via-velocity", and then switch back to choose language, keymap, and so on.. /n - happy AV8 user On Thu, 10 Mar 2005, Joshua Moore wrote: FYI, I've heard several people have been having trouble getting the onboard ethernet on the Abit AV8 board to work.

Hi Josh, Could you give us some dmesg snippets showing it loading and the name of the module? Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Abit AV8 Gigabit Ethernet
FYI, I've heard several people have been having trouble getting the onboard ethernet on the Abit AV8 board to work. I just tried the new Hoary version of Ubuntu for AMD64. It appears that it detects the onboard ethernet. As for the speed, I don't know much about how to check that, but it definately gets me connected. Just thought I'd let the world know. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
