Re: [suse-amd64] Solving the Tyan 2885 AGP performance issues
And verily, didst Kevin_Gassiot@veritasdgc.com announce to the hordes:
The stock 102 kernel, 4499 driver, and stock BIOS will not work. You need to update the BIOS, update the kernel, and update the Nvidia driver....
The nvidia driver on the site was still on 4499 when I read the original message, must've been hitting a webcache somewhere. It's there now.
I am running the S2885101k BIOS from Tyan, the 171-smp kernel from SuSE with the mtrr.c replaced by the one supplied by AMD, and the 5331 driver from Nvidia. You need all of these various bits to get the board to work correctly. I have been working with these guys for some months now, trying to get things to work, and as of Monday, I have a truly functioning system :)
You've not got the RAID on the silicon image on-board SATA working though, I'll wager... :) Just a pain that the kernel won't patch with those from that message. Obviously too old now to accept them. Just have to try to cheat the driver into working, by compiling a later 2.4.21- kernel and putting the build number in the makefile back to 102.

UPDATE: Hmmm, it works, by jove it works... (The new nvidia) Without needing to patch the kernel, thankfully. (OK, it's not got the mtrr patch so it'll prolly slow down when more RAM'S in, but the agp-tunnel one doesn't seem to be needed.)
