Hello,
I heard it first time that RH9 is not capable to run on Asus a7n8x
Deluxe. I type this email on of these and Severn + updates are running
just fine on second box.
I see no DMA issues and even the SATA is enabled.
Regards,
Ivo Sa"rak.

I rather optimistically bought an Asus a7n8x Deluxe
motherboard (with the Nvidia nForce2 chipset), along with
an Athlon XP 2600+, and tried to install Severn2. Multiple
times. Each time it got partway into installing packages and
then a kernel panic or freeze.
I had hoped it would work, since I read (mis-read?) that
the a7n8x runs on RH 9 without patches. But that doesn't
seem to be the case either - each time I try to do a
gcc boostrap (on a different partition than the one I
tried to install Severn2 on), gcc fails in a different way.
My guess is some disk-related problem, such as DMA.
(I have moved a jumper to disable SATA, so the kernel would
not timeout for the non-existent drives.) Any suggestions?
