The place to ask should be the Ubuntu Forums, and search for the mobo. There are the oddest hardware combos out there. I installed Ubuntu on 2 8 year old computers, and the forums helped.
I know this is stating the obvious, but truly comb through the BIOS settings to make sure no weird setups have been made (one can configure IDE/SATA etc to do the strangest things). If everything fails, grab an eternal USB CD-ROM drive somewhere. :) -- pablolie ...pablo Server: Shuttle X27D - Ubuntu 8.04LTS - SBS 7.4.1 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet (1), Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72711 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
