Re: Any recommendation for Linux friendly AMD motherboard?
Hi, so far I have been running RH 7.1 on MSI K7T266 (aka MS-6380) with no problems whatsoever. All works flawlessly, and I could even run my TBird [EMAIL PROTECTED] (153*10) stable. It runs X, w2k in vmware and a distributed.net client most of the time and it hasn't failed once. Not sure if you can find it in Israel. Other than that, get it if you can, I highly recommend it. - winstonksred = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any recommendation for Linux friendly AMD motherboard?
Hi, I am considering upgrading my current machine to an Athlon ThunderBird and would be interested in your recommendations on what motherboards are known to be supported for Linux and what boards should I stay away from. Especially, what do you think about Asus A7V and ABit KT 7A? Personal experience with any of these boards will be more than helpful Sincerely, Yosi _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Any recommendation for Linux friendly AMD motherboard?
Hi Yosi, Well, Asus A7V works great with Linux at my house - it's my main Linux workstation and so far - everything works including the Promise ATA 100 controller.. However, the ABit KT 7A have HPT chipset, which got a very bad support from it's manufacturer regarding Linux. They don't give docs, and there is a very minimal driver - which won't let you use it's real power (example -RAID 0 using the chip instead of software)...

RE: Any recommendation for Linux friendly AMD motherboard?
Hi. I'm using a Gigabyte (http://www.giga-byte.com/) GA-7ZXR. Most of the gigabyte boards have very nice features, and are very well priced. I think some people say that gigabyte boards are 'cheap', but their latest boards have gotten very positive reviews (I did plenty of research before deciding). They are still nowhere near the status of Asus though. I can say that I have had no problems whatsoever, and have run both 2.2.something and 2.4.3 with no problems. (The optional irda port works great aswell). However, I did have issues with the hardware RAID support. There is an onboard Promise Controller (www.promise.com), which, depending on jumper selection, is either an Ultra100 (ATA-100 controller) or a FastTrak100 (ATA-100 w/RAID). When I used their binary linux RAID driver, I ended up with an unrepairable e2fs partition after like a day or so. The guy who does all the linux-ide stuff (whose Promise drivers works fantastically when the board is not in RAID-mode) (and lots of other people) consider the FastTrak to be fake raid and strongly reccomend against using it. (you can see lengthy discussions on the linux-ide list, if u want :)). I have no idea about availability or support for Gigabyte in Israel (I got my board when I was still living in South Africa). There are also some nice DDR SDRAM boards (7DXR) and probably some other nice series out by now.
