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)
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
