Following the failure of my Novatech-supplied defective MSI-G33M board, with mis-matched RAM, I have got a GA-G31MX-S2 to work with better RAM, able to at last install and run Ubuntu 7.10, to find that after mild over-clocking of its E2160 Core2 CPU, Gutsy can suffer from 'glitches', lock ups or even failure to boot in a way that is being reported more and more as a problem. on the MicroMart Forums and similar to my earlier board problems. There are slight differences in the way that LinuxMint 4.0 performs, ostensibly using the same kernel, yet it is being reported as loading via DVD drives, running in RAM and then Installing more reliably than Ubuntu 7.10. I shall therefore be checking the Alpha releases on my GA-G31MX-S2 based machine with slightly higher over-clock to see whether the Alpha releases are more tolerant, reporting the achieved functionality.
Having set the machine up as a Linux test bed, with XP-hosted SelfImage-121 for Linux partition imaging, I can restore any distro evaluation within a few minutes, making the whole process a lot easier and allowing quite prompt Ubuntu 7.10 restoration. (I have allocated 10GiB for the main partition at the beginning of the drive and a 1GiB Swap 'logical drive' a further 24 Gib 'down' the drive. The machine is set up for multiple boot of Ubuntu, WinXPhomeSP2 (OEM) and WinVista 32-bit Home Premium (OEM) (on a second separate drive), with start-up selection via auto-installed GRUB. -- Kernel 2.6.22 prevents LiveCD load https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
