x86 -> amd64

loftwyr,
Thanks much. I assume your running pure 64bit.
I notice you have "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX is not set" in your config.

I thought that was the only support in the kernel, and would have to do, as I can find no kernel support for any 780 or 790 amd chipset, and it's various items.

I'll be building a kernel for the AMD 790GX and SB750 chipset, (or maybe not if I can't figure out what to enable in kernel config :lol:

) After hours of googling, I did finally discover that for the built in gigabit LAN using the Realtek RTL8111C-VCO-GR chip that the r8169 (r8168) driver that's in the kernel was fixed as of 7-21-08, and is reported to work, so I'll try that.
As far as basic support for 780G or 790GX AMD boards, SATA support for AMD, etc.I'm still at a loss. I thought AMD76XX had to be it, but since you don't have it enabled for your 780 board, I guess not.

If i can't figure out anything else, I'll try your config (without the 64bit stuff, of course). Board should be here in a few more days.

BTW, which 780 board is that you have. with the SB600 it must be a little older than what I ordered.

Anyway, thanks again for all the help, and linking your kernel config.

for your SB chipset you don't enable AMD74xx (or 7xx as is in help) bud ATI IXP support for atapi cdrom.

just your lspci will be like this

SATA will be ACPI support as that's the standard that all 7XX chipsets support.
