Hardware :: GA-965P DS3 Motherboard With Kernel 2.6.32?
Jul 3, 2010
I'm not a linux noob. Slackware Linux has been my primary OS since the late 1990's. This GA-965P DS3 has been my main system for several years now, and other than a few kernels that had problems with the sky2 ethernet modules, it has been running well with Slackware 11 through 12.1. Core 2 Duo E6600, 6GB RAM, SATA drives in software RAID1, PATA DVD-RW drive, ICH8 Southbridge, JMicron JMB363 RAID/PATA controller. Latest BIOS flashed this morning.
Currently I'm stuck at kernel 2.6.31.13 as any kernel from 2.6.32-2.6.34 locks solid after SATA/IDE device capabilities detection. I can boot from a Slackware 13.0 CD (2.6.29.6 I think) with no problems but not from a Slackware 13.1 CD (2.6.33.4). It locks hard after scanning the first SATA or IDE port that has a device attached. It reads the device serial number and capabilities before locking. I can keep unplugging drives and it moves to the next drive and hard locks. If all the SATA devices are unplugged, after scanning the SATA bus it locks after querying the DVD on the PATA bus. Behavior is the same with custom compiled kernels 2.6.32rc1 through 2.6.34. I'm sure this means it is related to the libata changes in 2.6.32, but no BIOS setting of IDE/AHCI/RAID makes any difference.

I have a CentOS 5.4 storage server with LVM/RAID1 setup, I need to change the motherboard from Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2C to Asus P5K-E. After the switch, I got kernel panic during boot (the following is copied manually from the screen, is these stuff recorded somewhere in the log? I checked /var/log/messeges but didn't find anything):
Code:
Scanning and configuring dmraid support
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays
md: autorun....
md: ... autorun DONE
[code]....
I used CentOS CDROM and entered rescue mode to take a look, some findings:
1. Initially the drive label is different from my old system, for example the old sdb became sdc. I switched the SATA cable around to get this sorted out except one IDE drive (originally hda, now hde), but this drive is not used in RAID
2. After the label is fixed, I used mdadm to check RAID1 devices (md0/1/2/3), it seems each device is missing a drive (originally md0 is created by sda1+sdb1, now it's just sdb1, and thus degraded). I used mdadm to re-add the missing drive, mdadm --detail shows everything is fine now.
3. Step 2 didn't fix the error, so I "chroot /mnt/sysimage/" and took a look around, all the directories seem fine, include the ones on "main" volume group. vgscan/vgdisplay/lvdisplay shows all the vg and lv as they should be.

I am currently running Fedora 14 on a 32-bit AMD XP motherboard. My plan is to replace the motherboard w/an AMD 64-bit (multicore, prob'ly) version (most likely w/a different h/w architecture) and I'd like to make sure my current applications and configuration (if that makes any sense) are moved en masse to the 64-bit version.
Is there an easy way to do this? What are my "gotchas"?

I used my old RAM in my new PC. The RAM was rated for 533mhz but the motherboard could not run it below 667mhz. Today I was using tdfsb (3D file system browser) in my music folder (which has a lot of files/folders) the PC froze. After 20min I pulled the plug and it started back up properly. After some updates later that day, I tried to reboot. All it did was shut down and light up the fanlights instead of restarting. I tried resetting the battery. With the old motherboard, bad RAM would cause beeps and I hear no beeps. The board is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H. The CPU an Athlon II x2 255. RAM failure would cause beeps or not.

I'm making a simple file server for a small business, running OpenSUSE with raid 1 HDD. Can anyone suggest a good motherboard? I don't really care if it has the raid controllers on it, but if not, a good raid controller?

I recently purchased a motherboard but overlooked that there are no ide or fd plugs on it. What I am wondering is, since the solder points are on the motherboard, can I solder some plugs on or is the controller disabled/non existent?

I have a home server running Ubuntu 10.04. I want to replace the motherboard and CPU without reinstalling the OS. I read a long time ago that this would sort of work on Windows XP, but with stability issues. However, I have a hunch that on a modern Linux there shouldn't be any problems.

Recently my motherboard has been dying and the warentee is gone so I decieded it was upgrade time. I need to know if there is anything special I need to do for Ubuntu to work on my computer after the new hardware is installed. I currently have a 32 bit motherboard and processor and am switching over soon. GRUB 2 handles my boot and I know I have some extra stuff to do on windows 7 but I was wondering what I needed to do to get my computer to boot up after the upgrade.

I just upgraded to an ASUS P8P67 Pro (Sandy Bridge) motherboard and moved my old hard drive to the new case. Windows 7 and XP are running smoothly. Ubuntu, however, doesn't detect the Ethernet adapter or doesn't have a suitable driver. ASUS doesn't offer Linux drivers for this motherboard. Is there a way to make Ubuntu revert to a default, working driver?

I bought a new motherboard and put this hard drive and 2 others on it. This hard drive has Kubuntu 8.04, one other has windows 7, and the 3rd one has Mandriva 2010. I re installed Mandriva 2010 so it would recognize the other 2 hard drives (10 hours later). And even though GRUB sees all 3 hard drive I cannot boot to Kubuntu 8.04. I had to put Mandriva on the one because it has a complete GRUB bootloader whereas Kubuntu does Not So is there a way to get this hard drive to work on my new motherboard?
I had to put together another tower with the old mobo to get to where I am now.

Xeon cpu 2 cpu motherboad.
I have following questions:
1) Can I run single CPU first? Add another CPU later when in need.
2) There are 2 sets of dimm. Each set serves its own CPU, I suppose. If running single CPU can the RAM on the 2nd set of dimm be detected and used?
3) What will be the comment on xeon vs amd, same spec (apple to apple)?

If a mechanism is controlling fan speed dynamically there must be a processor involved especially if it is PWM. Is BIOS the code regulating this and does a temp sensor interrupt the CPU to run the code? Is there a Micro controller on the board so the CPU is not involved?

I got my purple fans today and realized that there was spots on the motherboard that looked like the smaller plugs on the fans. (Yes I'm still a n00b). Google led me to a page that told me about my motherboard. I found out that my motherboard only takes DDR2 ram. And I have DDR3 in there right now. I think this solves my issue as to why my computer crashes when I try to put 8GB of ram in it.... So do I upgrade the motherboard or downgrade the ram? (It doesn't want to let me post this URL to the motherboard specs) Asus P5BV-C

I've recently changed the motherboard of a redhat server that's been running fine otherwise. The new motherboard is different to the old one. I can't boot in now; getting "Kernal panic: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00" messages. I've run mkinitrd to rebuild the image file and have changed the grub.conf line to point to the new image file but it still occurs.
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.25)
root (hd0,0)
kernal /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd.img.2.4.18-14
However; during the bootup I spy some "unknown IDE device" errors along with some "IRQ resource cannot be reserved" and/or "Could not enable IDE device" or similar messages. As per attached image.
I can detect the harddisk when I bootup using rescuecd and that's how i rebuilt the image file. I have tried changing the "ro root=" to "ro root=/dev/hda3" or other hdax figures; but still the same.

I am just getting into the Raid world with my home server. what i have:
Asus M3A78-CM (may be wrong, cant remember for sure) Motherboard with 6 Sata2 Connectors
3 2TB Sata2 Drives
2GB of DDR2 Ram set in bank A
AMD Dual Core (i'll know what it is when i get the system booted)
What i am trying to figure out is when i build this system, I will put in the HDD's into Sata Ports 1-3 and in the BIOS i will setup a RAID 5 Array. Now, do i just format and partition like normal? Would it be better to have a smaller, and better performing Sata2 for the system so i can have the raid be only for file storage?
In what i have read about this, i need to format each drive into two partitions at least but i do not know what needs to be done, The guides just vaguely say something about two partitions and then move on (trick of the trade? keep all of us in the dark? LOL) I would like to have a raid for my storage and a faster disk for the OS and home directories. But if it cannot be done then thats how it is. So do i put the TB drives in Sata Ports 4-6 and my other drive in Sata Port 1?

My old motherboard (biostar tp35d2-a7) died. I got a new intel h67 motherboard and installed an i5-2400 in it, and tried to boot off of the debian testing install that is on the hard drive, and which worked with the old hardware. (Old system had nvidia graphics.) It doesn't entirely work with the new hardware, however. I don't have ethernet and something is wrong with video, so X doesn't start.
To check hardware function and linux compatibility I booted Knoppix, and both networking and graphics are working properly. How should I go about fixing the installed OS to work with the new hardware? Do I just need to totally reinstall? Or is there some way to add drivers or reconfigure so that the existing OS will work properly?

System: OpenSuSE 11.0Mouse: Microsoft Intellipoint OpticalI'm having some troubles and am in need of any assistance you can spare. I've recently upgraded to an ASUS A8N-SLI, SuSE transitioned over smoothly as I set the system to mount via volume/disk labels; it booted up perfectly although, naturally, I needed to run SaX2 to reconfigure the X server. After I did this, I logged into my desktop and after about a minute the mousetopped responding. The lights would still light up upon movement however the cursor would not move unplugged and reinserted the device however it would not light up.
I have tried the mouse on my Windows disk and my other Windows computer and it works fine. I have already tried reconfiguring SaX2 andremoving the mouse0 file from /dev/input yet the problem still persists. In fact, I'm navigating the forums with a keyboard. After the mouse fails, if I try testing a new SaX2 configuration, switching virtual consoles or doing anything which would switch resolution the computer locksp and displays s screenful of coloured, fuzzy lines. I imagine this has something to do with an X configuration somewhere, I'll post my X configs here.
Code:
# /.../
# SaX generated X11 config file

I have server with Xeon E5620, 8 GB RAM, three 1TB hard drives which are in sw RAID 5 and two 250GB disk which are in sw RAID 1, all of this on Intel S5500BC motherboard. Installation of opensuse 11.0 11.1 11.2 and Enterprise suse 11 was successfull. After grub menu i get blank screen. It`s blank for about 60 - 120 sec and then appear Suse loading page and loading bar. This also happens if i change to text mod. But in text mod i can see what`s going on. First 5-10 lines are informations about partitions and then i get output just like on this link. Yfrog Image : yfrog.com/5nimag0108djIf i hit any key (in graph and text mode) booting will continue to opensuse loading screen and loading bar.I have tried installations on one workstation and one server and didn`t have this problem.

Just installed opensuse 11.4 using a new motherboard, the MSI H67MA-E35. According to the book that came with the Motherboard it has a Intel H67 chipset and a "HD audio codec integrated by Realtek ALC887". Also have an older Hauppague TV card installed in the system. Not setting the sound quality I would expect. By this I mean that the audio played by webpages is low. And the audio played by the TV card is distorted. The volume control is ineffective.The only way I can adjust the volume is by the control on the speakers. Perhaps it is just as simple as setting opensuse to use a different soundcard?
I have run the script also-inso.sh and the results were uploaded to: [URL]..

Last time I bought a new computer (I build them myself) I got a motherboard that had really poor linux support for a long time. Specifically the audio. I had to wait months before the kernel supported the on board audio chipset. That is exactly the situation I'm trying to avoid this time around.
I have some specific questions about "server motherboards" actually. I looked at a few models of server motherboards by intel, and some random models on newegg. I wasn't able to see much of a difference from regular desktop motherboard other than most had two sockets, and support for much more ram. These boards seem more popular with Linux users. Why?
AMD and Intel both have server CPUs as well. Some question, what's the difference?
To make this question more concrete, I was looking at this this motherboard. The main questions about it that I can't answer are:
Can I get a motherboard without on board raid and audio? I wanted to get a hardware raid controller and a PCI audio card. I thought a server motherboard would be cheaper and not have these "extras", since who wants an audio card on a server?
Where can I found out about Linux support for the components on this board? "Intel ICH10R", "Realtek ALC889", "Marvell 88E8056"
I'm buying this computer to work as a Linux desktop for a lot of compiling, coding and audio/video work, but I don't want to rule out the possibility of installing windows and playing some games at one point. (even if the last game I got has been sitting in its box unopened for almost a year). Is it a good idea to buy a "server motherboard" and play games on it, or are desktop boards better value for this?
The ultimate solution for me would be a motherboard that had GPL divers for onboard LAN, a single CPU socket, lots of PCI express and PCI. USB 3.0, and no fancy hard disk controllers since I'll be getting a separate one.

I have bought a new motherboard (MSI 785GT-E63). I already have an old CRT monitor connected to it. After I install a linux OS to it, my monitor will display that it is:
Out of frequency.
Current frequency is 89Hz. The
operating output of my monitor is
(around) 60-70Hz.
I would like to get this thing work. How can I let my CRT display properly?I was thinking of lowering down video frequency output of my motherboard, but I can't find any settings on my BIOS setup. Additional info:
My monitor is attached directly to
the built-in video adaptor of my
motherboard. (No additional video
