[expert] Bug about Gigabyte motherboard?
Hello, A friend of mine had lot of problems to have well recognized a ethernet card conected to a cable modem under Mandrake 9.1. In fact it had not network runing :-). We thought that the problem was related with the ethernet card, and then we tried with others, but that didn't solve it. Recently he has changed the mother board and, suddently, the Mandrake 9.1 installation is runing like a charm :-) using the same ethernet card. So, we think the problem could be related with the mother board; the first one was: Gigabyte 8ST800 with a P4 2.53Ghz 533. Now he has a Intel motherboard with Serial ata.2. I have put this message in the list to know if someone has had similar problems with this Gigabyte mother board. If the answer is yes, could be a Mandrake bug, a mother board bug, or a linux bug (one or more modules not runing as well as we spect). In the case that it were a Mandrake bug, should be corrected for the 9.2. or, better, also for 9.1 :-) Best Regards -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Murcia, España (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Did you try starting the kernel with the noapic boot parameter. It is a magic fix for newer motherboards and nic/usb problems. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
