Update. I did some googling and found out that I have to add " |
| 42 |
iommu=pt" to the kernel command line. When I do that, it works fine. |
| 43 |
It seems that this mobo doesn't play well with 64 bit Linux. Some even |
| 44 |
said it appears to be a windoze only mobo. So, my question is this. I |
| 45 |
just spent $120 on a mobo that it appears it doesn't work up to its full |
| 46 |
value. Should I swap this mobo for another board, brand to most likely, |
| 47 |
and be done with it? I like my last Gigabyte mobo but if this one isn't |
| 48 |
going to support what I use, maybe I need to rethink this selection. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
What are the thoughts of some mobo gurus? I bought it from newegg so |
| 51 |
return shouldn't be to big of a issue if I get this started pretty |
| 52 |
soon. I'll check for BIOS updates but the posts I found said it didn't |
| 53 |
help a bit. |

Thoughts? |
