I have a brand new ASUS MB model M2N-MX which is giving me issues when installing Centos 4.4 64 bit I initially had problems with finding the SATA drives but I resolved that issue by simply selecting the NVIDIA SATA (sata_nv)driver from the list of drivers during the initial install. The install seemed to go fine after that as the installer uses the Generic VESA video driver during the install, however, upon the restart after the install, the server then completely locks up. I can only assume it is at the point of loading the video driver although I really don't know what CentOS loads after the "acivating local loopback" section, because that is where it freezes on the screen. I'm thinking that the install to the SATA drive went well since it boots from the drive though it doesn't exactly boot completely. I have tried reinstalling several times already with the same negative results. Would appreciate any help that someone could offer in getting this working with this new MB. Here are the specs of the MB: -Key Specifications: NC-AS-M2N-MX Form Factor: uATX, 9.6" x 8.8" CPU - Support AMD Socket AM2 Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64/ Sempron Chipset - NVIDIA nForce430/GeForce6100 Front Side Bus - 2000 / 1600 MT/s Memory - Dual channel memory architecture - 4 x 240-pin DIMM, support max. 4GB DDR2 800/667/533 ECC and non-ECC,un-buffered memory VGA - Integrated GeForce 6100 GPU - High Definition Video Processing with max. resolutions to 1920 x 1440 Expansion Slots - 1 x PCI Express x16 - 1 x PCI Express x1 - 2 x PCI Storage/RAID - NVIDIA MCP61P - 1 x UltraDMA 133/100/66/33 - *4 x Serial ATA 3Gb/s with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5 & JBOD NVIDIA MediaShield?
