I'd love to be able to help you here<br><br>but this it new stuff! and it's hot!!!<br><br>great idea!!! well on the way to the open source computer!<br><br>hahahaha<br><br>I know this might sound a bit obvious, but have you tried<br>asking on the mailing list for that project???<br><br>I've just checked my mobo, and it's not on the list! darn!<br><br><br><b><i>gordon dunlop <gordon@zubenel.freeserve.co.uk></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> When I went onto the Linuxbios site my heart nearly sank, I thought it<br>was my motherboard there, fortunately I have a A8N5X not a A8N-E, both<br>ASUS socket 939 - AMD64 motherboards - Nvidia4 chipsets - PCI express.<br>Slight differences ( I am trying to find out what the differences are,<br>all my motherboards in the computers I build are ASUS, so I'm an ASUS<br>fanboy). I would not want to try out Linuxbios on my main workstation
(<br>I already have grey hairs from my Fedora 6 being loused up after moving<br>partitions, see previous posts). One thing that I noticed on the<br>Linuxbios site was the specification of the northbridge chipset and<br>southbridge for the A8N-E, which gave AMD for Northbridge and Nvidia<br>CK804 for the southbridge. On my A8N5X my northbridge is Nvidia CK804<br>and the southbridge (SATA controller) is Nvidia MCP04. In a Linuxbios<br>testing post (which I accidentally picked up via Google) they were<br>testing a A8N5X using coding for a southbridge Nvidia CK804! Obviously I<br>am missing something here, are there any hardware experts in Taylug that<br>could enlighten me on this as I am confused in the differences on<br>northbridge and southbridge descriptions between proprietary motherboard<br>descriptions and Linuxbios.<br><br>Gordon<br><br><br><br>Nistur wrote:<br>> I have read reports on 3 second boot times to a console so if anyone<br>> has a supported motherboard
