can you recommend me motherboard that centos 4.x supports? the proc is inte core 2 duo 3.2GHZ.
Thanks!

Hi,
I use a MSI P4M890. It has 2 PATA and 2 SATA.
I know ECS is not particularly popular, but I had really good luck with my nForce4M-A - the only caveat is that I have to run with noapic because it doesn't like apic for some reason.
thanks guys test this boards?

I run CentOS 5.0 x86_64 on mine and have had no hardware problems at all. From what I've read here and elsewhere, all mobos have their ideosyncrasies and flakes, but for my purposes (home computer, relatively light load) it works fine. Yesterday I was burning CDs, listening to m3u music lists, compiling a kernel and running a Windows disc label app all at the same time, no problems.

That sounds like a board with a buggy bios. For the same reason, I will avoid Asus boards since I have resort to noapic or apci=off parameters to get them to run stable.

what motherboard chipset should i look for? i use the MSI board im not sure with the model but this one is with the jmicron something and it can't even recognize by centos on bootup.

I had that same problem with Intel DG965 Desktop board too. So i googled and decided to get ICH8 instead of jmicron. In one thread of Fedora forum, it mentioned that 945 chipset might be able to install. But to be saved, I got the MSI P4M890. Its a VIA chipset though.

Sorry, I am not an Intel guy. I do not pay attention to what is available for Intel cpus.
As for supported SATA chipsets, check linux-ata.org.

How do I turn acpi off in centOS5? - Bob T.

Add "noacpi" (without the quotes) to the kernel line in your grub.conf.

Actually that only disables acpi partially (irq and pci-setup stuff). "acpi=off" will disable it afaik. See kernel-parameters.txt from the kernel-doc package for details.

Which Asus board? And how old is the BIOS? We've had good results with the M2N-E and M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboards and Linux 2.6. The M2N32-SLI had some rough edges early on until Asus released a proper BIOS for the board.

Asus is finally getting their apic tables setup right? great.

A8N-VM
Pretty sure I haven't tried running Linux on one of those. That's a socket 939 ATX board with PCIe and we only own one (which is a A8N-VM CSM GeForce 6150 running WinXP).
I don't exactly remember which BIOS revision of the M2N32-SLI Deluxe has issues... but at the time I was running Gentoo and the Gentoo boards contain a good deal of information about motherboards. Once Asus released a good BIOS for it, I dropped Xen 3.0.2 on it and left it alone.
I also had an A8V motherboard (socket 939, VIA K8T800Pro chipset) that I used for about a year with a 2.6 kernel. The M2NPV-VM boards (microATX) also seemed to work (at least with the Xen 3.0.0 or 3.0.1 LiveCD which I was using to test APIC issues on the M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard).
(We've developed a familiarity for the Asus AM2 motherboards, so they're the primary choice for us on the workstation / desktop side. Plus they have zero moving parts and a decent feature set.)

Asus does not exactly have a reputation for good BIOSes...they have been known to release a new BIOS to fix something only to break something else.

I have seen a recommendation for Abit AM2 motherboards that did not need any kernel parameters...actually I pressed for the information which the chap was nice enough to post after his going out of the way to test while he had another problem (using fourth RAM slot). :D
