Hi,
I am having some difficulties installing centos 5.3 on the gigabyte
GA-MA790FX-UD5P motherboard.
Has anyone got centos booting on this motherboard?
so far I have tried the following.
+ disabled the jmicron controller as this caused errors on booting
JMB363 bad irq(0): will probe later error (this error caused the
installation to stop at this point)
+ tested all components in another computer, they all work.
+ remove all unnecessary components from the pci bus.
+ power supply is not an issue since I have used a 850W PSU
Basically what I am seeing is once the installation process starts and asks do
i have another sata disk, and I select no the screen freezes at this point
*every* single time, the screen is always blue with a couple of greek looking
characters on the screen. No logs are left at this point in the installation,
so it is making it difficult to diagnose.
Today I installed the grml distribution and it worked with no issues, it uses
a base kernel of 2.6.28. so there is nothing wrong with the hardware but centos
still does not want to install on this motherboard.
Anyone have any ideas?
Nathan
