From: ivowel on 22 Sep 2006 20:55 has anyone installed a linux (my plan--gentoo) on the shuttle sd37p2? chipset 975x express + ich7r realtek alc882 broadcom BCM5789 via firewire any surprises awaiting the unwary, or will this all "just" work? (I can use an external USB CD for installation. I heard rumors that there are problems with the cd-rom.) which kernel drivers should I use? do newer kernel versions (2.6.18-pre?) have something that works better with this system here? thanks for any advice. /iaw

I had to temporarily pull the cover and connect an IDE DVD/CD drive to perform the actual install. Just my $.02 worth - YMMV
From: ivowel on 23 Sep 2006 17:06 thanks. hmmm....ok, then I think I will just try to boot an ordinary USB external drive, and copy my installation over. if this does not work, I will just install on the drive itself, and then insert it! I only need to figure out how to get the bootloader (grub) onto it, but this should not be too hard (famous last words). /iaw bobmct wrote: > ivowel(a)gmail.com wrote: > > > > > has anyone installed a linux (my plan--gentoo) on the shuttle sd37p2? > > > > chipset 975x express + ich7r > > realtek alc882 > > broadcom BCM5789 > > via firewire > > > > any surprises awaiting the unwary, or will this all "just" work?
