[FIXED]Read error on installing 7.10.Beta4 on MSI-K8NGM2-FID mobo

[gunsmoke]

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 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...

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.... and that did not work

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....

[gunsmoke]

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

[teedge77]

are you using one nic or two?

[gunsmoke]

Only using one NIC now on this setup, due to I dont have any MD's on the Core/Hybrid. Is this correct?

[gunsmoke]

It works

Now I got inernett connection

I had to disable DHCP function under admin site for the core, wolla!
