Finally got a retention bracket for my AMD64 3000+ on a FIC K8-800T.
Have installed Windows 64-bit on it. And I am currently burning
Linux Mandrake 9.2 for AMD64 to CD.

Is that the RC1 or the release version? If release version, where did you
find it?I've got RC1 here, but it doesn't see my raid controller. The
i586 version of 9.2 does. Silcon Image 680. I'm also looking for drivers
for the SIS180 sata/ata controller if you onow where I can find them if
they exist yet.


I paid the 120 quid to become a MandrakeClub member so I could download
MDK10 for x86, MandrakeMove-USB and MDK92 for AMD64.

Don't use the RAID controller, so don't know if supported.
The default kernel crashes if I have an USB mouse or keyboard
connected.

Had a little trouble putting a decent kernel on it (2.6.3) got
the QM_MODULES: Function not implemented error trying to load any module.

Had trouble install init-mod-utils as gcc don't know how to find
static libc. So all in all I have less luck than I had hoped.

Considering a few options right now. Maybe just recompile gcc
and see if that helps, or switch to Suse or Gentoo. But would
rather get Mandrake running, as my server is on MDK10.
