Thanks to all of you, I tried to install ubuntu and it worked with the command (pci=nommconf)but if u could reply me this questions?
I made 20GB of my E: Drive free but it was still at the extended partiotion of Windows XP;should I need to remove that as a seperate partition??
In manual partition process there are two process one to mount the files to / and also in a certain step it asked as
(ext/) how to configure that??
(I know what is meant by swap)
Also it asked for GRUB to be loaded after installation is complete.But after restart it returned to menu no operating system found insert boot disk to continue
Is GRUB needed to be installed???
I want to work both on windows and Linux
Thanks guys! The pci=nommconf got my system to boot. I also discovered that centos 4.5 will not install on this system with an ide cdrom. But it will with a sata cdrom. I have the ide options set to legacy in the bios.
when installing use boot parameter "all-generic-ide" and "pci=nommconf", it'll resolve SATA driver problem.
Regards,

Hi
I used pci=nommconf
it worked
now I can install and boot
but I am not able to use network card
neither the sound card
it looks like this option disables all pci hardware
how to fix it
FC4? You'd have better luck with Windows 98. Seriously, older distros really don't work well with the new hardware from Intel. Try FC6, Mandriva 2007, OpenSuse 10.2, Ubuntu (latest), etc. Otherwise, you'll need to upgrade the kernel, audio drivers (alsa-1.0.12 minimum), and video drivers.
Also, go to support.intel.com and make sure you have the latest bios. I'm currently installing Mandriva 2007 on a DP965LT (functionally equivilant to your system w/o graphics). My SATA is set to AHCI and working fine (except for the Plextor SATA DVD-RW).
I am also facing same problem but i am using Intel Atom processor and D525MW motherboard.I am not able to get into the boot scree itself. Please help me out toi resolve this issue.
