Hi, First, I've successfully installed a working pure64 system onto a Monarch Hornet SFF machine with the following specs:
FOXCONN WINFAST NFORCE 4 PC I X 939 ATHLON 64/FX CK804K8MA-KS AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 (OEM-939 PIN) Corsair Twinx2048-3200C2PT 2GB (2x 1gb CMX1024-3200C2PT) DDR 400 1024 MB CAS Latency 2 XMS modules (Platinum) 2x Seagate 7200.8 ST3300831AS 300GB Hard Drive Serial ATA, 7,200RPM, 8MB (ST3300831AS) Plextor DVD�RW Dual Layer Writer 16x/8x/16x DVD+RW, 12x/4x/16x DVD-RW, 4x DVD+R DL, 48x/24x/48x CD-RW EVGA 6800GT256mb PCI-E 256-P2-N376-B OEM INTEL 10/100/1000 PWLA8391MT Desktop Adaptor I used the 2005-02-18 version of the installer and didn't have any problems. The installer actually saw everything right off the bat and installed all the modules correctly. I just changed the order of the ide modules so the amd74xx modules loads before the other ide modules and DMA works fine. The system is _much_ faster than a dual-proc AthlonMP system I have with 4G ram and 3 10K rpm scsi drives. I haven't had a chance to check sound yet, but everything is detected and the modules load. The only problem I'm having is with the nvidia video card. The debian packages won't install. When trying to install nvidia-glx, I get the following error: ------------------------------ Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-glx: Depends: nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629 but it is not installable E: Broken packages ----------------------------- Anyone else get this? I've also tried to install the drivers off of nvidias website and they seem to install with no errors, other than erroring when I try to install the 32bit compat Gl libs. I also modified XF86Config-4 to load th nvidia driver instead of the nv driver, and not to load the GLcore and dri modules, as per the readme. However, when I try to start X, it fails with a message about not being able to find the nvidia and glx modules. Anyone have any suggestions? I've installed the nvidia drivers on my laptop with no problems, but that was with the Debian packages, and not and amd64. I've googled, but not found anything really helpful yet.
