You forgot to mention what the problem was. I've got a few dozen Asus mobo's running CentOS4/5 with no problems. Perhaps you have some odd network interface that is not supported by a the Xen kernel ? - KB ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Hello all, I got this tiny problem, I bought an Asus m2n-vm hdmi mobo two weeks ago and it seems not to be fully working under centos amd64(4.6, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1 or even RHEL 5.0 i386, amd64) I tried to install centos and RHEL using the linux dd and linux noprobe commands to load driver disk from nVidia guys but it doesn't detect the HD I'm using their diferent versions of the driver RHEL 4_U5, 4_U6 , 5, 5_U1 , then if I change the IDE config in the BIOS from SATA to AHCI, it detects the SATA HD during the install process, but when it boots up, it tells me to reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key, but nothing happens...then I change the BIOS IDE setting back to SATA, and it boots but it gives me a kernel panic saying could not mount such file system, not such file or directory, it doesn't load up the drivers at the linux noprobe way, nor even the forcedeth or the sata_nv. I read in ubuntu and fedora forums that they're supported in Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 and Fedora 7, 8, 9, haven't test them yet though, I want to stick with Centos bcos thats my working enviroment. What can I do? Here are my specs: Asus msn-vm hdmi Chipset Nvidia GeForce7050PV/nForce630a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 2.5Ghz Dual core 6Gb RAM Kingston 250 HDD SATA2 LG IDE DVD-ROM I'm trying to use this setup in my home lab to test out Xen technology and techniques. forgot to say: I was able to install RHEL 4 with no install parameters, but I can't upgrade using the RHEL 5 DVD, still the same issue..no HD detected in install process. any suggestions? thanks in advance. Victor. Well that's it...the main trouble is CentOS/RHEL can't see the HD so therefore can't be installed, this is using the SATA/RAID (even factory defaults doesn't work) in BIOS setting but if I change to AHCI, it can be installed but cannot boot up grub or nothing...so I'm kinda lost here. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Good news... I downloaded the RHEL 5.2 iso from Red Hat and it detected the SATA drive without changing anything in the BIOS, so I can discard a BIOS bug from now on, the iso image was corrupted, though so when I set the root password it crashed, checked the dvd and it didn't pass the test. So I guess CentOS 5.0, 5.1 RHEL 5.0, 5.1, sata_nv drivers doesn't support the nForce 630a chipset, not even the official drivers from nVidia.com. I thank you all for your suggestions/comments...I guess I'll stick with this asus mobo. Saludos, Victor. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] I need hardware advice here
Hello all, I just been wasting time with an Asus mobo trying to get CentOS/RHEL up and running for my home lab using Xen Technologies and need an advice in order to have a fully working Box, got any suggestions? which chipsets are the best out of the box for Centos AMD platform (AMD based, nVidia based, Ati Based)? (this could be a plus) I already have the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Processor AM2 Socket, 6Gb RAM to use(maybe more), a IBM Netserver xSeries 205 Case and a 250gb SATA HD. thanks in advance. Cheers. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
