Nope, I haven't even tried to work with the RAID chip yet... I have been
trying to get the graphics to work properly on an AMD64 platform since
about last May, I want to take a few days away from beating my head against
the wall, before I start banging against another wall :)

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....
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,
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. 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. -- Check the List-Unsubscribe header to unsubscribe For additional commands, email: suse-amd64-help@suse.com
