Debian etch install on Intel DG965WH motherboard

Posted December 15th, 2006 by paul

After more than a week of testing combinations, i've managed to install Debian etch (amd64 version) on my new Core 2 Duo system.  It required using the latest daily build and putting my IDE CD-ROM into my USB IDE enclosure - it appears that the the problem is that Debian kernels haven't got a pata_marvell module yet.  Interestingly, OpenSUSE 10.2 installs perfectly.  More details can be found at Debian bug report #397062.

Now on to my next adventure: installing Xen.  :-)

Incidentally, i never got Xen working to my satisfaction, nor X.org's X server.  I ended up buying a dirt-cheap add-in PCIe card, and i'm running VMware for my Windows emulation.  The graphics card i bought was an ATI Radeon X300SE, which i bought from msy.com.au (for AU$38!).  It shows up like this in lspci -v:

 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]
        Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Unknown device 2103
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
        Memory at e8300000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [58] Express Endpoint IRQ 0
