nForce2 Integrated NIC Not Detected

**hunter2097** · 09-14-2003, 12:06 AM

Could someone post a version of nvnet.o that will work with KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-09-05-EN.iso, or a link to it?

I am desperate to get a version of knoppix PXE booting on my home LAN, but the built in kernel and PXE boot environment do not have nvnet.o.

I got it from nvidia.com and compiled the source. Have you treid that, and if so what was the error you had?

My bad. I am a bit of a Knoppix newbie - I didn't realise (or think it possible) the CD had a full compiler and kernel-source!

Anyway, I've compiled the ("non-GPL" - come ON NVidia, what are you thinking?) nvnet.o and added it to the miniroot.gz (in /modules/net) on my PXE server... PXE booted knoppix from a my server's hard-disk is AWESOME, so much faster than from CD - and the perfect recovery/diskless environment.

Knoppix is great.

and the connexion was up and running (after a reboot of course ).

This is Linux. We don't reboot unless we really have to.

A simple "/etc/init.d/network(ing) restart" will do just fine.

Well the new Knoppix 3.3 is out.

Is this one able to auto detect and allow me to use my on board NIC on my Abit NF7-S nForce2 mainboard yet?

Well that tells me it's no longer an oversight but has been deliberatly left out due to legal issues with nVidia and never will be fixed.

There's other variants of Knoppix that will work so I'll just have to abandon mainline Knoppix and move over to the other ones.

Its not so bad if you happend to know a guy who does remasters of knoppix. I'm waiting for a couple of updates to the new 3.3 and then I will make Overclockix 3.3, complete with nvnet.

If anyone wants to contribute to the overclockix project by making suggestions, helping me make the overclockix page look half-way decent (I don't really know HTML), or by taking OVerclockix and re-remastering it, be my guest.

Thanx Arkaine23. Oveclockix worked like a charm.

Hi arkaine,

I downloaded your ISO, burned it, and installed the distro on my HD (sda5, I have an Adaptec RAID 2400A controller)
At the reboot I get an error message:
Kernel Panic, unable to mount root fs on 08:05...

what does it mean? I can't understand why... where's wrong?
I tried to repeat installation, but, it is always the same....

I have an Nforce 2 mobo ( NF7-S ).

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Carmine.
