To get things working nicely (including on-board sound and ethernet in my case) it requires drivers from nVidia. Be careful not to confuse the board drivers with the video drivers or things could get confusing :-) Start here and read carefully. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0261.html I believe there are older Mandrake rpms but don't be afraid to rebuild the .src file not.

Hi, I have Mandrake8.2. So far it was running on an old PC without any problem. Recently I purchased a new maschine and installed 8.2 again. Now there are one major problem: During boot Mandrake says: Unknown bridge resource:0 Assuming transparent.

I had much the same problems for the short time I used it. 8.1 was troublesome for a lot of people. I think 8.2 is still about on the mirrors, if you have reason not to use 9.0 or 9.1.

The hardware I'm running is a little old but I don't think its that old. I'm a little concerned because I keep having varying problems with my system. For instance I'm running KDE and I use xmms.
