 Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2005 11:35 am Post subject: Lanparty Motherboard Question |
 |
|
Hello, it's like this i have newly upgraded to this:
Lanparty nf4 Ultra-D ( Socket 939 )
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1024MB ddram
Leadtek Winfast PX6800TDH 256 DDram
Audigy 2 Soundcard
Now i wonder, should these hardware be able to run Gentoo properly. I think that Audigy 2 should work, not sure about Leadtek Winfast, and if my network card will work. The network card that my lanparty has is:
| Code: |
Dual Gigabit LAN - Vitesse VSC8201 Gigabit Phy and Marvel 88E8001 Gigabit PCI.
Fully compliant to IEEE 8023 (10BASE-T), 802.3u (100BASE-TX) and 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) standards.
Integrated power management functions.
Supports IEEE 802.3u auto negotiation.
Supports wire for management.

If anyone know if this will work good and properly, then i would be greatful for any information i need to know so i don't install it and then it aint gonna work.

the sound card should work. I refer you to google and LinuxQuestions HCL
its not really gentoo specific and should proboably be in kernel and hardware, btw.

The two network connections work without problems if you pick the right drivers: forcedeth for the
nForce4 chipset and skge for the Marvel one. The latter driver is included in the latest gentoo-dev-sources
(2.6.11-r3), called `New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support'. Don't use the older sk98lin driver as it fills
your logs with `internal Software error's. It's good enough for the install, though. |
