Hi I've just bought a gigabyte 8ihxp motherboard which has usb 2.0 and ich4 on it.Does anyone one out there know If this board works with either Suse 8.0 or Suse 8.1? Or does anyone have this same motherboard running under Linux? I haven't installed it yet as I am still waiting for the processor and pc1066 rambus. Richard G.
Usb 2.0 is supported in 2.4.19 kernels. On Wed, 25 Sep 2002, Richard Gelling wrote:

H ow new is the ich4 version? And, if you want usb 2.0 support I'd go for 8.1. I have a Gigabyte 7vrxp motherboard with a promise ide/raid 133 chipset onboard. 8.0/2.4.18 doesn;t supporr it, but 8.1/2.4.19 will. I don't know about ich4 technology or if it's supported in 8.0, but if you want usb 2.0 then 8.0 won't support it - like said the change log for 2.4.19 shows it wil support usb 2.0. You might want to pop over to kernel.org and have a look at the change log for 2.4.19 and see if ich4 is supported. HTH, Curtis On Wednesday 25 September 2002 03:53, Richard Gelling wrote:

For SuSE 8.0 you need to download kernel 2.4.19 in ftp://ftp.suse.com (in mantel directory). I have ICH4 too. For SuSE 8.1 it seems it will support it out of the box because it has 2.4.19 as the default kernel.
Or does anyone have this same motherboard running under Linux?
mine is intel 845bgv i845G & ICH4.
Thats great, I haven't fiitted it yet,I was mainly worried about the ICH4, I've got 8.1 on pre-order so I'll just have to wait to fit the board and processor. Thanks for the replies Richard G. On Thursday 26 September 2002 16:00, you wrote:
