Does SimplyMepis 6.0 support AM2 socket Asus M2NPV-MX motherboard?
Posts: 15
1. I have tried SimplyMepis earlier and I liked it very much.
2. Recently I downloaded SimplyMepis 6.0 and I am ready to test.
3. I have a PC which has AM2 Socket Asus M2NPV-MX motherboard with on-board video (nvidia 6150), audio (SoundMax) and other add-ons (nforce 430). I have put AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and I am running Windows XP SP2 without any problem.
4. Can someone guide me whether SimplyMepis will recognise this motherboard? When I tried live-cd, I did not get sound in that machine. I also could not make much out of "lspci" command.
5. If it does not recognise this board, what is the next step to make it work?

I've got no sound on my ASUS M2V-MX mobo - it's an AM2 socket - AM64 3000+ w/ Via K8M890
Sounds like ASUS and AMD are the common denominators, but I have sound when I boot to Ubuntu Edgy, so it may be a kernel issue?
I'll have one in a couple of days, will let you know

From memory, everything worked fine but Mepis would not detect the Striped RAID 1 array I tried last time I saw the machine, so at best, all I could do was to run in live cd mode. Didn't have it long enough to test it fully but this time, we're going to a RAID 5 array.

I have the -VM version of this Asus board. Video and networking work fine. I have 2 Gig DDR2, and 3 SATA drives. Very fast, and stable so far under XP and Mepis 6.0.
Still no sound. See the Sound section of the forums where I have posted.
Been working on it a few days, with a few helps from the forum, but still silent.
I might have to go out and buy a Creative sound card.
