The one problem I had was that the cd wouldn't boot untill I passed the nonet option. At the live CD boot prompt, I typed "gentoo nonet" and it booted just fine and picked up the onboard nic automagicly. There is a kernel option for nforce DMA though I did not compile it in. I don't think that my UDMA 133 80 Gig 8Mb buffer Maxtor is suffering though.
sudo /sbin/hdparm -Tt /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 1352 MB in 2.00 seconds = 674.31 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 172 MB in 3.02 seconds = 56.86 MB/sec Hint for your install: Before rebooting, emerge the nforce-net package or you won't have network drivers (module = nvnet) after rebooting, and you'll have to boot back to the CD. There is a nvaudio ebuild too that you'll probably want at some point On Thursday 25 September 2003 03:37 pm, a park wrote: > ernie, > > did you have to make any bios / boot / kernel adjustments to get > your system to work with the nforce2 chip set? > > andrew > > From: Ernie Schroder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel panic while booting a new Gentoo > >installation > >Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 14:30:13 -0400 > > > >Just so folks don't think that Peter's problems are due to the > > Nforce 2 chipset., I'll report no such problems with my > > LeadtekK7NCR18D (nforce2) mother board.
