Installation issues / Club3D GeForce 9400 GT & Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCI-E

Hi guys

I'm new to LinuxMCE, please don't blame me, if I'm too silly 

After some problems installing LinuxMCE 0710 i386 with the 3 CDs because I wanted to have custom partition on an 32 GB SSD, where I want the system to be installed, I have installes the DVD 0710 i386 and it worked well.
But I have poor graphic 

I downloaded the NVidia Linux Display Driver - x86 and installed it from tty3. I was told that the driver doesn't include a version for the installed kernel and will check the website. Nothing was found.
Therefore the driver was compiled.
After that it asked me if I want to configure the X configuration file. I chose yes.
I was told that the installation was successful.

But unfortunately the system doesn't boot any more. There are two screen that alternate all the time:

Code: [Select]

* Re-exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...   [ OK ]
and

Code: [Select]

Starting up ...
[   0.528000] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 3 of device 0000:00:00.0
Loading, please wait...

Ubuntu 7.10 dcerouter tty1

dcerouter login:                            [ OK ]

* Starting Samba daemons                    [ OK ]

* Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf...          [ OK ]

* Starting Samba daemons                    [ OK ]

* Restarting UPnP Media Server fuppesd      [ OK ]

I have no clue, what I can do, to make the graphics card work
Any help is highly appreciated!

Maybe I should try 0810?



Edit: My system looks like this

Silverstone SST-ST30NF-GM Fanless-Series - 300 Watt

Hi all

I'm building my first HTPC. I was looking for a good Media Center Software.
WinMCE was not suitable, because I have moved from Windows to Ubuntu a few years ago. I'm still a newbie but very happy with Linux and the whole OpenSource idea 


I want to build this PC as a single HTPC (Core/MC Hybrid):

Silverstone SST-GD01S-MXR Grandia Desktop
Silverstone SST-ST30NF-GM Fanless-Series - 300 Watt
MSI K9A2 CF-F, AMD 790X, Socket AM2+, CF
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e BOX, Socket AM2, Dual Core, 65nm
Silverstone SST-NT01-E Fanless Heatpipe Cooler
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4, 4x1GB, DDR2-800, CL4
Club3D 9400GT Passive, PCI-E x16, 512MB, HDMI (nVidia GeForce Chipset)
Club3D Theatron DD 7.1 PCI
Noiseblocker Multiframe S-Series MF8-S1
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1300, analog TV und DVB-T Hybrid Tuner
WiiMote 


I was wondering if I could use a Solid State Disk with 32 GB to get rid of normal harddisk noise. But since SSD have limited delete cicles it could be destroyed within short time?

I will store my media on a NAS in another room.

Maybe I can record TV to the NAS as well. If not I want to use a HD to record and use the NAS for the more permanent media (like MP3, videos, etc.).
Like that the harddisk noise is reduced to record and then I can copy it to the NAS.


Does anybody have experience with ssd in the core?


Btw. I hope I'm in the correct sub-forum
