Motherboard
MSI 965P NEO-F Intel P965 + ICH8 PCIe Motherboard
Processor
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 Allendale Skt 775 Retail Boxed

but I've heard bad things about the Intel 965P chipset. I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, something to do with JMicron? It the above ok, and has the chipset been supported in the kernel yet?
Thanks,
Erlend |

I've P5B Deluxe motherboard (965p chipset with Jmicron). I've installed the system correctly. I've downloaded the cd from http://www.kernel-of-truth.net/downloads_kOT.html for the jmicron.
It sees the jmicron.... But when I finished installing the system, grub didn't work, I think it is because of my raid 0. I've tried suse 10.2, grub didn't work too.

Is that problem that since we don't have anything a J-Micron driver anything not SATA doesn't work?
How does this affect grub? |

I've heard that the 2.6.18 kernel has the support for jmicron. I don't know what is the problem with my grub. It could be my cflags . Because when I run grub it tells me Floating point exception.
