Re: Sarge install onto nFarce2 board with x 2 DDR400 sticks doable?
Hi Yall & Manolis,
most cool from another Greek Geek :-)
Still, some of these non-Greeks (Barbarians....), are not half bad
Geeks ;-)
*please note; tongue in cheek!*

This is weird, maybe one of your dimms is bad ? Run memtest86
for 5-6 hrs. to verify it before installing. (www.lnx-bbc.org
for a nice small rescue cd with memtest86 in)

I wish, have a surf thru the following & you will find similar stories,
for other users with setups like mine. Seems to be a nFarce2 issue. Oh,
Allan Cox coined the phrase & I am experiencing some of that reality....

go to
http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ and get ACPI &
nForce2 patches, apply them, make-kpkg (or make bzImage etc.)
your new kernel & install it. Reboot, 'apt-get install acpid'
and ta da :)

Thanx again :-)
Also of note, the latest nFarce drivers, get the onboard sound & network
cards up & include a patch, for the ide & agp stuff too. For the latter,
you need to patch your kernel, then select the options, recompile & run.
Don't forget the black coffee & loucimi (sp?), if it works. ;-)
I've decided to take out a stick of ram, try the above & then see if I
can't put the ram back in & see if she goes.
This will all take a wee while, I'll let yall know how it goes, if ya like?

Hiya,
Hello
If I take out one stick, then I can get the OS on, but not stable.
Any tips, tricks or links please?

After u have your memory working, install debian, get
linux-2.4.21 sources from www.kernel.org (not debian's
kernel-source deb), and go to
http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ and get ACPI &
nForce2 patches, apply them, make-kpkg (or make bzImage etc.)
your new kernel & install it. Reboot, 'apt-get install acpid'
