Hello all, I just been wasting time with an Asus mobo trying to get CentOS/RHEL up and running for my home lab using Xen Technologies and need an advice in order to have a fully working Box, got any suggestions? which chipsets are the best out of the box for Centos AMD platform (AMD based, nVidia based, Ati Based)? (this could be a plus) I already have the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Processor AM2 Socket, 6Gb RAM to use(maybe more), a IBM Netserver xSeries 205 Case and a 250gb SATA HD. thanks in advance. Cheers. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20080603/51308753/attachment-0002.html>

I've got a few dozen Asus mobo's running CentOS4/5 with no problems. Perhaps you have some odd network interface that is not supported by a the Xen kernel ? - KB
