Hi Guys, In a bit of a pickle.. Is anyone running the latest "Centos 5.9" or earlier version with an Intel X79 based motherboard. I have a server which needs the motherboard replacing asap and I have a spare "Sabertooth X79". I have a machine with a "Sabertooth X79" motherboard to test on which boots up fine on on "Centos 5.9 i386" image from the troubled server. However the output from "lspci" (see below) seems far less descriptive than you normally see in "Centos 5" or "Centos 6". I am just a bit worried that this might imply lack of support. I do not need audio/firewire.. but need the essential to work memory, sata etc. Also I thought "i386" installs could not see more than 3 and a bit Gigs of ram? The test machine has 32G and meminfo shows
MemTotal: 3574676 kB MemFree: 3146556 kB
Steve,
You need to run a PAE 32-bit kernel in order to see more than 3.1 GB.
I wouldn't be too concerned about the lspci output yet.
Regards,
