good luckMy install of mandrake 10 commercial was a breezeall the hardware on the A7V8X recognised first time. However there does seem to be an issue using the board with a Hauppague pvr 350 - get a total system lock when I try and tune any channels (under both MK 10 & Win XP Pro)...

Yep, ran win2k for over a year before a bad fan fried the cpu last weekend. I just replaced the cpu with a 2.7g screamer and put a real operating system on the drive. I'm dl'ing 10 community now. The driver was discussed in cooker a while back, so it's probably in there. That's just as easy as installing a floppy in the computer. Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Asus A7V8X
What's the output of "lspci"? Does it show a Broadcom ethernet device? Also watch when the system boots. On first boot before the bootloader you should see a screen listing the devices on the pci bus. There should be a network contoler listed with its interupt (IRQ). If you don't see a network controller then it may be disabled, check the cmos setup to ensure it is enabled (on my A7V8X it can not be disabled in the setup). do you run windows (ugh), if so, does the ethernet controller work?
