fuzzylizard Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 You need to go and look in the Mandrake Linux Hardware Database. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3 Just find your motherboard and see if it is supported.

Ixthusdan Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 The hardware lists are really very incomplete. I have had systems inwhich none of the hardware is listed, and linux loaded just fine. Rule of thumb, if the chipset is brand new, there might be an issue. If it is an older chipset (1 year) then chances are it will work just fine. I recommend that you just give it a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzatch Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Look up the motherboard chipset first. Looks like its and ATI which should run fine. But it also looks like you have an onboard Rage vidio card. I don't know anything about them but you could look into it also. As for everything else I can find on it it looks good to go. But as always check twice, load once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanrev Posted January 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 I don't really know how to test my motherboard on the mandrake data base I see that the card builder is not listed in it's " pcpartner " thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanrev Posted January 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 all I get is We're sorry but there is no referenced hardware that matches your request. i entered the following : pcpartner AA3MSA-A275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzatch Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 A3MSA-A275 Thats all I put into google and it came back with the MB chipset and manufacturer that it looks like PCpartner used. Use the Google Luke. May the search be with you. Yoda says "Find you will with google" Vader says" Search your google. You know it to be true."

Sarissi Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 My mobo isn't listed in Mandrake's hardware database, yet is fully compatible: Chaintech 7VJL Deluxe Apogee. Asus ASRock K7VT2 is also compatible. This Chaintech mobo is the first mobo I have had, that Mandrake 'turn off computer' actually turns off the power!

Qchem Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hardware databases are next to useless - I have my suspicions that they're solely for the support guys to say "sorry, thats unsupported". As other people have mentioned, find the chipset and RTFM kernel docs to see if it's supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
