Hi all I just want to give a little report about my success on installing debian pure64 on my new box with the mainboard Gigabyte GA-K8NS-Pro.
First of all I disabled all the features I do not need like sata (I have only one PATA disk connected), raid and so on. I enabled onboard-sound and onboard-lan. Installation went smothly (sid-amd64-netinst) and without problems. The network interface was discovered automatically. I could use pppoeconf to setup dsl connection and install the rest of the system (after manually editing sources.list, which was not done automatically). Howewer, sound did not work. It was not even visible in lspci output. I rebooted and disabled the sound in the BIOS. Now sound did work with snd-intel8x0 (automatically detected). After that I tried enabling the sound in the BIOS again, and now it seems to be correct -- it works when enabled in BIOS, and does not when disabling. Must be a bug of the BIOS. Just if somebody has the same effect with a new board, try disabling the sound in BIOS. But now eth0 was not discovered automatically. I had a look in /var/messages and found it was using sk98lin the last time it was autodetected. I modprobe'd that lib and it worked. So I added that to /etc/modules and now everything works fine. So, for the mainboard compatibility list: Mainboard Gigabyte GA-K8NS-Pro ATA: nforce ATA Raid: ? Serial ATA: ? SCSI: - Network: sk98lin Sound: snd-intel8x0 Bye, Tobias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
