You should try doing 'modprobe forcedeth' from console 2 during install
since for some reason 2.6.8 seems to fail to detect the nforce ethernet
on many boards (later kernels see it just fine), but even when lspci
doesn't show it, the driver still works just fine for some odd reason.

Worth a try.

There is no need to mess with the binary from nvidia at all.

Re: network card on AMD64 installation

Hi,

Really i think that the system had a problem with some network cards or 
some Motherboards, because I try to install debian AMD64 on my new MSI 
K8N Neo4 that use nvidia nforce 4 chipset and Debian AMD64 didn't detect 
any network card during the install process and after that. When the 
system was installed I try  to compile and  install the nforce kernel 
module downloaded from nvidia web page, but it don't install because 
"the kernel version that was compiled is different from the version that 
is loaded" and really I don't know why this if i used the kernel source 
code and headers that came with the DVD iso.


After that i think "ok, let me disable the on board network card and use 
other in a PCI slot" and fist I put a D'Link DFE-530TX that use the old 
VIA chip set and Debian don't see this new card, then I change the 
D'link by a 3COM 3C905B-TX and ok the system it recognizes that, but my 
surprise is that Debian don't see the net, It can configure the card by 
DHCP, I try to configure manually, but it don't see any other machine in 
the network.


I know that all the hardware is fine because I try using other 
distribution and all work fine, because it I think that the problem is 
in debian distribution on some hardware configuration.


Thanks and Regards

I'm suscribed to many debian-related lists, this seems to be the only one
where people reply to the list in any way they want to.
When people answer the poster directly instead of the list, could they at
least cc the list name without adding any extra garbage anywhere in that cc 
header.
It's becoming complicated to write procmail recipes.
 
To those (like me) using mutt: try hitting "L"
as "in reply to list".

This may not be the official code of conduct for this list but perhaps it 
should be.

You are right.  It is not a standard.  It is just a proposal.  But, I
think it is usefull.  And I think people shoul use it.  That way it
might become a standard even if it is not formalized.  A number of
MUAs have implemented it already and in many cases it just needs to be
activated.

Is that a standard?  MFT would have the advantage that the sender of a

Hmm, I thought it used the mailing list header.  Certainly when hitting
reply it just uses the from field.

I use the mutt in sarge.

Which Mutt are you using? The one I've used for years does certainly use
the Mail-Followup-To header when I list List reply.

Mail-Followup-To is ignored by many mail clients too, given it doesn't
appear to actually be a standard.

X-Mailing-List works in mutt (when hitting reply to list).  It does
absolutely nothing with the Followup header.

You should set the Mail-Followup-To header appropriately.  Otherwise I

I will try to remember to hit the correct key.

If only all mailing lists were configured properly so reply to list
always worked.  The debian ones are, not all others are though.

Aside from your opinion of mail reader design decisions it is against

Many people are not, so it is quite automatic to just hit reply all.

mutt flags duplicates nicely so I can easily remove them.  I would think

Hi Len,

Thanks for the information I had experienced the same problem with the 
installer and thought that the Giga lan was the same with the newer via 
chipset they have on the board. BTW please do not CC me I am subscribed

According to abit and google, it has an IC Plus 1000a chip.  Not a via
chip as far as I can tell.  Driver name is ipg.ko but not in any current

Well a google search indicates the network chip on that board has rather
poor support at the moment in linux.  The maker http://www.icplus.com.tw
does have a linux driver, but you have to download and compiler it
yourself, so it's useless during the install.  No current kernel has a
driver for it, so no installer (probably for any distribution) will
recognize it.

Simplest solution is to get some cheap network card to plug in while
installing, until you get the onboard one working.

Currently the board seems to be on the list of 'not recomended for linux
at this time' boards.  Not that many boards seem to be in that state
anymore (although ATI chipset boards seem to go there too to a large
extent).

Oh I should mention as well if you want to monitor the temperature 
sensors on the motherboard with the uguru if you get it installed you 
should go to this (1) thread on the abit forum and get the oguru 
tarball and compile it with gcc-3.4 and you will be able to check them.

Hi Xiaozheng,

I have a Abit KV8 Pro with I think the same netcard builtin and it would 
not recognize it either. Try using the CTRL + ALT +F2 keys at the same 
time to switch to the second virtual terminal then use modprobe 
via-velocity to load the module for the card then try to set your IP 
address. Of course you would use CTRL + ALT +F1 keys at the same time 
to switch back to the installer terminal.

network card on AMD64 installation

2005-08-31 Thread Xiaozheng Ma
Dear All, 

I  am installing AMD64 to my new computer, which has Abit ax8
motherboard.  The installer could not find network device (or
configed my network) with auto-detect DHCP option.  After I
manually set the network ip etc, It still couldn't work.  The ax8
has an integrated network card (i believe it is Gigabit LAN)
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=215

By default, the installer also has problem recognizing my PCI-Express video card. but this is a less conncern to me. 

Has anyone installed AMD64 successfully on the ax8? Please share your experience. Thank you very much.
