| 587931 | 2007-11-19 12:36:00 | Am having similar problems as listed in previous posts. I am running OpenSuse 10.2 (from a Linux format mag) with mixed success on the DG33BU (Networking is intermittant and the sound card doesnt work) I overcame the problem with an old soundcard. I've been to the Realtek site and grabbed the Linux drivers:nerd: I'm not too clued up on messing with the kernel:confused:. Other distros just wont boot I think the problem is the SATA recognition. I managed to overcome that manually on OpenSuse on install. If I'd have known B4 hand I woulndt have bought the board but the features looked great at the time. Having said that as hopefully drivers will be available in the new year. |

| 587932 | 2007-11-19 21:54:00 | The drivers for every feature on the board are now included in kernel 2.6.24. The current version is 2.6.24-rc3, and can be downloaded from here (www.kernel.org) [kernel.org]. Despite being an RC release, this kernel is extremely stable. There is no need to use third-party drivers for anything, they're all in the kernel. |

I build on other computer new kernel with same version, but integated Marvell IDE support, create new boot cd with this kernel and distrib files . Installation was successfuly . |

I use latest driver e1000 v. 7.6.9 from sourceforge.net and it working fine! |
