To be specific it listed it as "RedHat 5.0 Client". http://www.linuxtested.com/results/asus_p5k-vm.html Looks like no one tested Fedora. I probably should email them since I can confirm it works with FC8, but no audio. --- On Mon, 7/7/08, Kai Schaetzl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Kai Schaetzl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Centos 5.2 and 2.6.18-92 Kernel backported SATA fixes? > To: centos@centos.org > Date: Monday, July 7, 2008, 10:31 AM > Michael Rock wrote on Mon, 7 Jul 2008 05:35:38 -0700 (PDT): > > > it showed > > this model tested ok with Redhat > > "Redhat" is not a distribution, what exactly got > it tested with? > > Kai > > -- > Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany > Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: > http://www.conactive.com > > > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I checked linuxtested.com before purchase and it showed this model tested ok with Redhat except for audio which I could care less about. Also, given that the chipset has been out over a year now, it works with Fedora, and you have people like David providing fixes you would figure by now RHEL 5.2 would have caught up. > Secondly, Fedora 9 is neither a least hassle setup, not a > long term > solution.

I also went with Fedora 8 which was a smooth install but plan to move it back to Centos/RHEL when they catch up with the kernel updates. The kernel numbering can be a bit confusing to me since they backport fixes. At kernel.org the Sata problems were not fixed until a later release and not in 2.6.18 > Thirdly, the best way to find out if your hardware is > supported is to do > an actual installation on that hardware.

Is there another place that details RH kernel fixes other than Errata since I could not find the fixes detailed at kernel.org? thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

First of all, if this is important to you, please remember to buy hardware based on your OS requirements (and not buy what looks interesting to find out you end up having issues driving it). Especially if you buy more than one piece... Secondly, Fedora 9 is neither a least hassle setup, not a long term solution. Since you may have to upgrade every 6 to 12 months, which is something you may think does not matter that much, until you are forced to upgrade on a timetable that is not yours. Thirdly, the best way to find out if your hardware is supported is to do an actual installation on that hardware. Since you have more than one piece, why not boot it and see if it is fixed ?

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 and 2.6.18-92 Kernel backported SATA fixes?
Last year to get motherboards with the G33 chipset with SATA working with Centos I had to either use David Harbic fixes or use Fedora 8 since it had the later 2.6.25 kernel. I no longer see David's fixes available and also see in the 5.2 release notes "update SATA driver and infrastructure". Did Redhat finally incorporate fixes to full support the new G33 chipset and SATA? I have more of these G33 chipset motherboards with Q6600 cpu. Trying to decide which is the least hassle setup and long term i386 or x86_64, on either Centos 5.2 or Fedora 9? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
