It is possible you may want to revise your statement after reading Section 6.4 of the Installation Guide. In particular: If the firmware was loaded from a firmware package, debian-installer will also install this package for the installed system and will automatically add the non-free section of the package archive in APT's sources.list. This has the advantage that the firmware should be updated automatically if a new version becomes available. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I am using Debian Release 7.4 (wheezy) 64-bit Are you able to help me? Regards Ike I have the same motherboard that you do. Here's what you need: 1. Install package firmware-linux-nonfree. You will need that to get the X driver to work properly. Otherwise, you are stuck with the VESA driver. This is in the non-free repository, obviously. 2. Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d called local.conf. In it, put the following statement: options snd_hda_intel model=auto You need this to get the alsa drivers to work with the on-board sound chip. 3. This motherboard uses non-ECC memory; so I strongly recommend that you use a good memory testing program, such as memtest86+, to make sure that all your memory is good. 4. I also recommend that you install package amd64-microcode. This will upgrade your CPU to the latest available microcode during each boot. Do this and you should be in good shape. -- .''`.
