Re: New Motherboard Problems
Hi Paul, Dale, I have seen yesterdays posts by you and was intrigued - so I looked! Opened up the Quails page - read - and ducked for cover! But thanks for the interest, Dale. 'tar xzvf' should work on the .tar.gz file. - ? !! Strewth Paul! What do I do with that? Yes, I've seen these things in books and mags but not in reference to anything I wanted to do at the time, so no practical experience. I have also had a half hearted look or two for a hand book or something with examples that work on the subject but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Re: New Motherboard Problems.
Hi Dale, Thanks for providing the instructions but they arn't going to work.. as they assume that a network already exists. - Do you have the list of required packages for Michael? - 'tar xzvf' should work on the .tar.gz file. Do you know why the driver for this ethernet controller isn't included in the standard Linux kernel?

Re: New Motherboard Problems.
Hi Paul, Thanks for the input, much appreciated. I have noted that BIOS attempts to load the OS from the hard drive first but can not find an anonymous file it is looking for, so goes the CD. 'Embeded' LAN does not appear in any of the setup pages, although the cable test is good. lspci > lspci-data.txt interestingly produced what looked like the man page for the command first time up. Playing around lost that and re-starting the terminal and that command did not repeat it. However, lspci by itself produced the output below (transfer via USB stick). Ethernet Controller in the last line but one maybe what you are looking for and can suggest a method of making it operational.

Re: New Motherboard Problems.
Hi Michael, Two problems.. firstly, in the BIOS, make sure that the hard drive is listed as one of the devices to boot from. Secondly.. You can also check the BIOS to see if 'embeded LAN interface' is enabled. This won't help immediately, but will give us some more information.. >From the command line.. can you please save the input from the 'lspci' command and post it to the list.. it will tell us what ethernet device the kernel. (A USB stick might help getting the file off.) lspci > lspci-data.txt Then copy the file lspci-data.txt, and email it here.

New Motherboard Problems.
Hi the List, Recently upgraded my desk-top with a Gigabyte S-series GA-G31M-ES2L complete with a Pentium E6300 dual core processor. The new BIOS is an Award Modular v6.00PG version FB. Ubuntu 9.04 loaded quickly from the CD so I thought "Great!" - Wrong! The only way the OS loads is if the System disk (Ubuntu 9.04) is in the CD tray. Then I can choose "Boot from First Hard Disk" from the menu and it does and I can choose between the two hard drives. The second carries the 9.04 OS that worked perfectly on the old motherboard and processor and of course has all my files on it. Not too bad. Unfortunately, the LAN connection to my wireless modem does not work now, so no Internet or Mail. (Luckily my laptop does not suffer from that!) Accessing the BIOS Set-up tests for the connection and reports that it is good. Contacting Gigabyte got the usual response - No assistance for Linux! >From memory, the first time I tried to start Ubuntu after the install a message came up that the BIOS could not find a file it was looking for. Possibly that file exists in the various Windows boot sequences, its content unknown. If there is a way of getting the BIOS to recognise the Ubuntu Boot Sequence it would be appreciated. Not using the command line very much, I have no idea what commands are required that would force a search of the IO hardware for that connection and / or make it. Anybody have any ideas?
