Thursday, July 05, 2001 Hello I normally install latest Mandrakes on new motherboards I use, just to see if it installs or if anything causes a headache. Better find it out in advance before its needed yesterday(g). Anyway, Latest MSI turbo boards for AMD Athlon / Durons when checking whats loaded seem to have 'unknown' devices. I counted 2 VIA devices, the promise raid (is on board) and the firerwire card (suposedly made by ACER acc to lists) My board is the K7T Turbo R, KT133A chipset, promise ata 100 rAID BOARD. Now as may be known, this buggy chipset is good in corrupting data if its copied from IDE 1 to IDE 0. No idea if thats the same under Linux butif anyone has this board or without the raid in use under mandrake I would like to know if those problems are also present under Linux. And where to get the missing drivers, asuming they are around. I want to use this board as my office system so I would expect more stability then what I need when playing a bit around and dataloss obviously would not be apreciated.... By the way, latest V8 I gave to a few stubborn window users to try and install. They were on the net without much problems but network settings (one used a router) stumped them... -- Best regards, tracer Using theBAT 1.53d NO MICROSOFT VIRUS INFECTIONS mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] using FireTalk: 321338 LOCAL phone: 271194/324244 handphone : 01-891-9560 FAX (USA) (208) 460-3753 pgp 6.5.3 : 0x909D9B10
