Good Morning, I am just wondering if anyone has had trouble installing Debian (sarge) onto a HP a1540n machine. I am looking for other users that have this system or similiar to it and have Debian ( or any distro of linux ) installed and fully operational.
The main and first problem I ran into was the onboard ethernet not being found. According to HP's website it is listed as a 10/100 Marvell 88EC031. Under windows it says it is a nVidia onboard lan card but I am not sure if it has to do with the chipset and all. It has the nForce 430/410 drivers installed. When trying to configure the card in the install it can't be automatically found so someone told me to use the forcedeth drivers but they require an IRQ and under WinXP, the lan doesn't have an IRQ. Any ideas? I am thinking about skipping this part and coming back but I would rather fix it during the install to have inet to use apt power. Also, how good is debian in SATA support? I heard it isn't great and that I might run into trouble there as well. Thank you! r/s Christopher -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
