I had a brief opportunity to play with a board with the nforce2 chipset, namely the Asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard, and it booted the 9.0 kernel without any problems. Was the difficulty in getting the 9.0 installed properly or in the bootup with an installed kernel? What else did these 2 workarounds give you? [I.e. the mem=<total memory - memory of graphics card> or going to a cooker kernel].
Can people please share what they have working on motherboards with this chipset? Has anyone got usb 2.0 working with this chipset? I presume that would require one to go to a cooker kernel. What about firewire? Or the LAN? I got the NVidia LAN working by using the proprietary driver, but has anyone tried to get the 3Com LAN working or managed not to use the proprietary driver for the NVidia LAN? Does anyone have the sound working without the properietary driver? I had a kernel freeze when I modprobe'd the i810_audio driver. Best, Narfi.
