fuzzylizard Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I have a friend that was playing around with Fedora and Kernel 2.6.0. He could get it compiled and installed, but he was having trouble getting to work correctly with his motherboard -- nForce. I was just wondering if anyone else had tried this combination and had everything work? By everything I mean acpi, sound, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnkirby Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I don't know what Fedora includes, but be sure to have the Kernel Source, the drivers for the nforce boards do not work properly without it. In my case, I have an nforce2 board, the onboard lan will not work without the kernel source for the drivers to talk to, everything else is fine, just no lan.

bvc Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 kernel-source is never required for realtime. Only to install drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 i have an nforce2 using gentoo with 2.6.1, i think it says in my sig. network works fine with the forcedeph drivers - in the config program i think sound... well works nicely, with 5.1 channel audio... except.... about once in every song there will be a patch of horrible distortion somewhere, its really annoying. Also alsamixer won't save settings... thats probably something i've broken though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I've just booted into 2.6 for the first time on an nforce board. apart from a few minor config issues - everything is fine... Sound seems to work well. I have only been running it for less than an hour so other problems may arise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
