nVIDIA nForce 590SLI

[skinky]

(sidenote: - thanks Mandriva for a wonderful job on this release!) :D

 

Just letting others know that my hardware works with Mandriva 2007 because I couldn't find any helpful information about linux support for my mobo chipset.

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 with the nVIDIA nForce 590SLI chipset

Memory: Adata DDR2 800 MHz (Dual Channel)

Graphics: Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 7600 GT (GV-NX76T256D-RH)

Hard Disks: Seagate 400GB SATAII, Seagate 80GB IDE

Printer: HP LaserJet 3020

 

Not yet tested:

• RAID (hardware, on mobo)
  
• Sound (still waiting on the digital cable to arrive)
  

Installation:

To install I had to select "ACPI Disabled" at the boot prompt and now my lilo.conf contains "acpi=off", otherwise everything just worked without any hassle.

 

HTH someone looking for info.

 

Cheers

skinky
