Can't install on ASUS MB -- need recommendation of MB that will work
I ordered and built what I thought was my next computer -- dual-core
Intel 820, asus P5WD2 -- I didn't expect I wouldn't be able to
install debian because of weird IDE/SATA controller issues: http://
kerneltrap.org/node/5392. (I tried disabling lots of drivers in
expert install and changing bios settings, but the netinst disc
always fails to find the CD-ROM -- probably the PATA disk drive I
have too if it ever got that far.)
I spend hours putting the thing together, I don't want to spend all
weekend trying to build a custom kernel for it. Can anybody recommend
a relatively inexpensive Intel 775 dual-core Intel 820 compatible MB
I can buy instead?
The other components I have are PATA disk, 2x1GB DDR2-533 and a CD-ROM.
Maybe I'll return the ASUS or more likely I'll just keep it in hopes
that one day I'll use it.
Thanks,
Eric
