Hello All,
Mandrake 10.1 does not install on the Asrock 845 chipset P 4i45 GV mobo.
To cross check linux compatibility with this mobo,
I have already used debian sarge on this one worked without a hitch. Uptime 40 days and counting.
live Knoppix 3.2 was tried and it booted fine and gave me the desktop and even played mp3s from the hdd. In case this may be of any help, the first line in the knoppix boot up text messages was "PCI Device 00:f1.1 not available due to conflicts". Any clues?
at the knoppix bash prompt run lspci. u will get an o/p like 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02)
this will tell u what device is not functioning. Seems to be the ide. Turn off dma in the bios.
