Hallo!
I have played around now for while with LinuxMCE on my hardware:
VIA EPIA EN 12000 with integrated VIA UniChrome Pro AGP graphics -working in UI1 (used as CORE)
ASUS A7V880-VIAKT880 ATX, SocketA, Sapphire Radeon 9600Pro 128MB -PXE bootable as MD
MSI-K8NGM2-FID, nF430, GF6150, mATX, S939 -IO error copying files to HD (no PXE).
I was hoping to use the MSI mobo with UI2 or 3, but there seems to be a problem somewhere. I have tried to update from Bios v3.5 to the latest 3.7 but no luck. :(
Full spec for my MEDIA PC: MSI-K8NGM2-FID, nF430, GF6150, mATX, S939. AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+. Samsung HD 250GB & 400GB. Corsair 2x512 MB DDR PC3200 400Mhz CL2. NEC DVD+/-RW ND4551A. Seasonic S12-330; +3.3v/20A, +5v/20A, +12v1/8A, +12v2/14A
I have also tried 7.10 beta 3 and 7.04.
Also on the CD installation there is an error; after GRUB loading I got "Error 15" ???
I belived that this board should be excelent for LMCE since it got Nvidia 6150..... Any comment on this?

Sorry but I am confused about whether your problem is with the Via based Core or with your MSI based MD? A few more details would be useful ;-)
Have you tried a DVD install?

Oh :o well it was my MSI-K8NGM2-FID board that halts in the DVD install after starting the "copying to hard disk". I get I/O error.... down the pages and then goes to full stop... For the CD install it stops after selecting Start LinuxMCE from the Boot menu :'(
I was hoping to se how the UI2 or UI3 looks like, because this is my only board with NVIDIA gpu... :-\
i am a nobo on linux platforms, i dont even know how to update drivers... :P
Thanks for your replay Andrew

Ohh it was a bit of finger trouble ::) I was using an IDE 200GB HD in this test setup and didnt chk witch IDE channel I plugged it in. So it happens that the optical unit was in the primary IDE, and the HD was set in the secondary IDE.... :P and that did not work :o ;D
Well well, it should never hurts to chk the connection a bit extra, but it is embarrassing when I dont.... :-[
I have now test runned the mobo MSI-K8N-GM2-FID both as a MD (PXE boot worked great!) and as Core/Hybrid. It functioned in UI3 as well :)
Time to look at sharing over network, all my movies and media files....
-
The internett is not working thru my GB switch/router, it is only working if I connect the Core/hybrid directly to the modem. Why is that ???
I wish too have a setup like this:

I have tried to use static IP adresses to the Core. And also disable the DHCP function in D-Link. But no change :(
If I connect the windows PC first, they both are on the internett, but after plugging in the Core; no connection on neither. It looks like there is a conflict of some sort :-\
I have also tried to use the D-Link as a switch for MD connection to a Core, but that diddent give internett connection at all....
I need a pointing in right direction, what am I missing here ???
Thanks for any thoughts on this matter
-
are you using one nic or two?
-
Only using one NIC now on this setup, due to I dont have any MD's on the Core/Hybrid. Is this correct?
-
It works ;D
Now I got inernett connection :o
I had to disable DHCP function under admin site for the core, wolla!
