<div dir="ltr">Good point about the chipset! I have an Asus NPV-VM HD board and I had a whole host of problems with ACPI before a BIOS upgrade came out from Asus, could not get any distro to install at all with loads of errors, had to put Windows on just to satisfy myself that the hardware was sound. So what am I saying? Guess its check to see if there are any BIOS upgrades for your mobo and check on the Ubuntu forums for any known issues, as well as the sound advice given by others.<br>
<br>Happy hunting!<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/10/13 James Crow <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:james@ultratans.com">james@ultratans.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>Some of the newer Nvidia motherboards have sata that does not play nice<br>
with the kernel in Ubuntu 8.04. I had one that I had to install kernel<br>
2.6.25 to get the sata working properly. You can get more details on<br>
which chipsets are affected by searching for "all_generic_ide" and Hardy<br>
or Ubuntu.<br>
