RE: [Security Firewall] MORE Problems setting up latest ISO

[Mitchell, Neill]

MNF 10.0 will not run on Nforce 2 boards without the drivers from Nvidia. Best bet is buying a cheapo IDE controller card and using that. I got it working by installing Nvidia drivers off a floppy during the installation process. The snag is you need another 10.0 machine with the same kernel to build the drivers.   Cheers.   -----Original Message----- From: florin [mailto:florinenator@gmail.com] Sent: 29 April 2005 16:44 To: security-firewall@mandrivalinux.org Subject: Re: [Security Firewall] MORE Problems setting up latest ISO   your hardware may be too recent for MNF which is based on a mandrake linux 10.0 ...   On 4/29/05, Mark Tiller <mtiller@ntlworld.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > My MNF2 started playing up, I suspected a hardware fault and bought a > new hard drive.
