Hello suse-linux-e! I am thinking about buy this mainboard and CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 64bit. soc.939 MB Microstar K8N nWidia nForce NF3 I am not sure if still SuSE 9.2 is not able to support south brigde of this board. I was trying to build similar computer in October 2005 and I had to change to board who support AMD processor with socket 754, because network adapter didn't work and as I remember that USB had problems too. Maybe you take me question, that why I don't want SuSE 10.0, but the reason is, that I have got very bad experiences with running Kylix 3 Pro on Linux kernel 2.6.11=>. On 9.2 it works. I woun't buy it if it won't work corretly for me. -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk

OK, thank you for your reply, but I am still not sure, that SuSE 9.2 will work correctly. I really like SuSE 10.0, that is very nice work, but I cannot get any support for "unsupported linux distributions" from Borland and need to know that SuSE 9.2 will work, because Kylix doesn't work on newer kernels. As I said (wrote). I have installed on my actual PC SuSE 9.2 for developing, SuSE 10.0, Mandriva 2006, Ubuntu 5.1, Knoppix 4 for testing. -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk

The 9.2 kernel will have problems with nforce4 based boards, but it will probably also have problems with nforce3 based boards. And you should keep in mind that maintenance for 9.2 will end in approximately half a year (if I've calculated correctly). Philipp

Then I have this offer to buy this mainboards: MB MS,So939,ATI Xpress200,4DDR,SATA(R), LAN,VGA,1394,mATX MB MS, So939, NF6150/410, GBe, FireWire MB FOX, So939, SIS6100+nF410,DDR, VGA,LAN,SATAII(R) MB MS, So939, NF6150/430, GBe, FireWire Which will work on SuSE 9.2? I need to buy 64bit, because our customers have problems on 64bits and we are not able to test, because we don't have 64bit machine. Or could you recommend me any other mainboard which will be good for SuSE 9.2? -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk

I can recommend the Abit KN8 motherboard, I just took delivery of one yesterday along with an Athlon X2 4200 CPU. I was a bit concerned that there may be problem but on a quick test with 10.0 and all the hardware was discovered correctly and it just worked. OK I am runnign 10.0 but as Philipp says support for 9.2 is almost running out.

I ran 9.2 on an MSI K8T Neo2 Series MB with an AMD 64 bit processor for over a year with absolutely no problems. Bob S.

Have you built kernel, or it is running on default installation + patches. Thanks. -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk

To both questions: Standard regular default SuSE kernels. Default install and later upgraded with YOU. That board uses the 939 pin socket. I am running 10.0 on it now. Bob S.

9.0 support ended last week. 9.1 support is dicontinued at the end of June 2006 so I'm guessing that 9.2 support is dicontinued at the end of December 2006 or January 2007 time frame. Stan

Stan ========= So for the OP, the question still remains. What does he do about Kylix and running it under 10.0 or is there a replacement for it, so he can work with his customers?
