Fedora Hardware :: Support For AM3 (AMD) Motherboards?
Nov 20, 2009
I am looking to build a high end workstation (as against a high end gaming configuration). Wondering if anyone has good (or bad) stories about Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P or Gigabyte GA-MA790GPT-UD3H

This thread [URL].. was the only one I could find on this forum that addressed the problem I am having. It also involved a Gigabyte motherboard. I recently purchased a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 motherboard which is a version 1.3 . I have a v. 1.0 of the same motherboard which I have used regularly for a year.
The problem I have is that newer versions of Ubuntu (10.04 and 10.10) don't boot reliably with the new motherboard. It will boot up to where it says "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom. Done." and then will stop. If I hit any key on the keyboard the boot finishes and everything is OK. Sometimes it will hang like this but often it will boot successfully without assistance. I need it to boot by itself reliably every time.
Older versions of Ubuntu (8.04 and 9.04) boot just fine with the new board. If I put the drive with the 10.04 installation in my older Gigabyte v.1.0 computer, it boots reliably every time. Interesting to note that Windows XP sp1 installs fine on the older v. 1.0 computer but I need XP sp2 in order to do a successful installation on the v 1.3. I have stress-tested the new setup for 6 hours without incident and memtested the RAM for 4 hours without error. I have even swapped RAM between the two with no resolution.
I can't find any thing in syslog to explain this. It stops just before the splash screen comes up. I removed splash with no positive result.

I would like to connect my pc to the TV but the vga cable is not compatible with my analog Tv.The pc that i'm using is equipped with everything, except it hasn't got an agp port for my TV-OUT video card.I have a second motherboard with cpu(+power source) on it, but it's too slow so i don't want to use it.So! My idea is to connect the pc to the second motherboard, and use the second motherboard just for the agp and the TV-out video card.(i really don't have no money for signal converters and new video cards at all)

Is it technically possible to use just one power supply for more than one motherboard?The reason for asking is that I have a number of old (a few years) boards that I would like to use to make up a blender render farm yet only have one spare PSU. Having looked at the pin spec URL...pin 16 (power on) should only be connected to one board (or have a manual switch to ground for on)Pin 9 (standby +5v) probably should only connect to the one board or none and the other (or all) boards would need pin 9 to be tied to a +5v pin.All the boards would network boot and have nothing connected to them, no disks, floppies, monitors, etc; as all data would reside on a network server.

I have two servers (A and B) which are identical. My idea was to have a software RAID 1 with both of them running and if server A craps out I wanted to swap the hard drives from server B into server A. When I tried to test this idea the network driver doesn't seem to want to cooperate. ifconfig gives nothing and I can't figure out why. From googling I've read that a network card has a unique ID on it (I'm assuming their talking about the MAC address) and is used in some config files which is why swapping hard drives gives two different MAC addresses and confuses the system. If that is so would anyone know exactly what config files the mac address is stored/used in? That way I can make a backup of those files and swap those out if I ever need to swap out the hard drives.

I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.

I'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.

I liked the feel that I got from KDE from my short experiment with Arch. So I decided to use KDE with Fedora, and I like the results.
The only problem I'm finding with it is that I can't find a way to get mp3s to play with KDE apps. I can get Banshee to play them with gstreamer. The problem is that no matter what method I use to get KDE apps to play the files (like Amarok), they won't work.
I've tried the following commands.
Code:
su -c 'yum -y install kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree id3v2'
Gives me an error saying that kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree doesn't exist.
Code:
su -c 'yum install xine-lib-extras-nonfree id3v2'
This installed perfectly, but mp3 playback still does not work.

I don't see nfs listed in /proc/filesystems. Does that mean it is not supported? Is it possible to make it available for Fedora 11? You know, assume I don't want to compile my own kernel?

I've heard back and forth about whether the generic ATI drivers in Fedora 11 provides functional 3d support...as of installing F11 (64) i was impressed by the initial capability of the generic drivers but no 3d support as Desktop Effects could not be enabled.( using ATI Radeon HD 2400 ) what are the usual tips and tricks to get 3d functionality in this environment?

I know this can be a touchy subject but I would like to find MP3 support for K3b & Xmms, I am a big fan of the Banshee music player and have used it with MP3 support provided by FLUENDO [url] in many Linux distro's. I can play mp3s in Banshee thanks to FLUENDO, however when I open k3d or Xmms I am presented with an opening message that an mp3 plug-in for those apps cannot be found. Can anyone suggest any packages that will enable mp3 support in these applications?

Just how old of hardware DOES Fedora support? They have to draw the line SOMEWHERE.
As an example,would it be the stuff on a PII? PIII? 486? Or what?
IOW; if I were to take the latest release (F12 in this case) how far back in "hardware history" could I expect to go w/o support issues.

I am trying to convert my own CD's that I own into .MP3 format for my Sony 16GB MP3 Walkman. I did some looking on Google and found these free/nonfree repositories that you can add and then update YUM, etc....well I still can not get it to work. I am rather new to Linux. I am trying to use Audio CD Extractor under applications/sound & Video. It does not work in Rythmbox either. What do I do now? I am trying to use Linux day in and day out and no longer use Windows.

I've been trying to install gd with png support. libpng is installed on my server, but for some reason the png.h file isn't anywhere to be found. So, I can't install gd with png support. I'm a linux dummy, so I'm not sure what I need to do to get the headers installed. I did manage to find libpng rpm. I don't know how to make it install headers.
