ASUS motherboard?
Yes, the A7N8X-E deluxe motherboard.
Another yes and Oh Boy! Upgrading from 9.1 Pro, the gory details. In my previous post, it refused to have anything to do with the 120G ATA100 drive as hda or hdc and which was reiserfsck clean. Installed the new 160G ATA133 drive, rsync the data over from the previous hda1 to hdc1, then swapped them over. Complained about these devices, so I mkdir /media/floppy /media/cdrom, /media/dvd and /media/cdrecorder in in virtual console 2. Still getting complaints, ln -s /dev/hdb to /dev/{cdrom,cdrecorder,dvd} and now it seems happy. Did the upgrade, but on boot, it prompted me with a filesystem problem, did the "mount -n -o remount,rw /", hmmmmm.....it's mounted /dev/hdc1 instead of /dev/hda1, reiserfsck, fstab all fine, so I removed hdc and it boots, but lots of stuff it said it had installed was missing, yast, some X stuff, parts of kde, parts of gnome and more, it's not been put on hdc1 for sure. Right, I'll sort this sod out, Did a new installation without formatting hda1, no problems, Did YOU update, it's happy except there is no sound module for the intel8x0 in the SuSE kernel. Booted my previous 2.6.9-mm1 kernel and it's fine, I just had to set up kde and a few other bits, but it's back to health, my hosts, resolv.conf and such, plus /root and /home are still intact. YOUR MILEAGE WILL CERTAINLY VARY. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
