So i tried ubuntu 6.10. In this last case, i disabled Usb support in the bios and i passed to the boot the option irqpoll and noapic (quiet and spalsh options were deleted). However... now i have all the usb interfaces down and can't have the mouse working properly. Ubuntu is not yet installed :( I will let you know about my "Odissea".<BR/><BR/>Bye, Stefano - ItalyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668718.post-39855001380378266972007-03-23T21:17:00.000+00:002007-03-23T21:17:00.000+00:00I'm planning to build an Ubuntu system with six 50...I'm planning to build an Ubuntu system with six 500GB SATA drives in a software RAID-5 configuration. I'd also like to use a SATA optical drive. I'm attracted to the AB9Pro because of the nine SATA ports. However, if you really can only boot from the two JMicron SATA ports, won't that cause problems for my 6-disk software RAID configuration? Do I need to make it a 5-disk RAID array and reserve one disk for booting?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882706079038285302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668718.post-28006498167906350312007-01-08T13:42:00.000+00:002007-01-08T13:42:00.000+00:00I have just got an AB9Pro and decided to set it up...I have just got an AB9Pro and decided to set it up as a dual boot with FC-6 and Win XP Pro...<br /><br />I had problems getting it to boot with the original IDE drive, so tried using a new drive plugged in to the JMicron connectors, as suggested and am going now but am wondering what the problem is with the other six (Intel?)
