Linux on K9NGM3
I must test further. After several more attempts at running any type of linux on my new pc - I now think it is my DVDRW causing the problems and not the motherboard. I went total SATA with my DVDRW and My Hard Drive not thinking this would somehow be a problem. The thing is that all of my Linux Distros are looking for an IDE based DVD/CD Drive when they go to boot and cannot find one. So either I have to search for Distros that can find a SATA drive , not use Linux on this PC, or install an IDE DVD drive (which I did not want to do). I was trying to keep the pc simple and clean and only put in what I needed - Now in order to run any of my Linux Distros I am forced into installing an IDE Drive. So I’m sorry if anyone reading has taken my advice on the board not running Linux - this may not be the case at all - I will not know anything further until I tear my pc down and add an IDE DVD Drive. Then I will be able to report better about that motherboard. MSI K9NGM3
