Hello all,
A friend of mine purchased a computer with Intel 865GLC motherboard, and a SerialATA hard disc. SuSE 8.2 Pro installer doesn't recognise the hard disc (or the controller). So I had him install 8.2 on his old computer, compiled a 2.4.22 kernel, plugged it into the new machine (the old drive is PATA), booted up and copied the installation over to the new machine.
So the new machine boots now, recognises the SATA controller and disc, DMA is on and it's fast!
Three problems remain though:
1. Yast2 configured the sound and at boot there are no errors when the sound module is loaded, but it doesn't make any sound. I checked with gamix that everything is on and set correctly, but no sound. Programs like xmms and MPlayer work as if the sound is there, no errors. Just no sound.
2. Yast2 configured the onboard Intel NIC, but this gives an error on boot - simply that it failed with no specifics.
3. Hotplug fails (with no specific error) and it seems that this is because USB won't work.
Does anybody have experience with this board or know how to get everything on it going? All the hardware are just recognised as "Intel ICH" something or other, no specifics.
Hans: Are you sure ACPI is running on that machine? 8.2 usually detects if acpi should run or not, but it might have missed it because of the way you installed. On boot command line you could add pci=acpi to force it on. Also is acpid loaded (run-level editor). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
