Does SuSE work with an ASUS mother board..?


Hey folks.

This is NOT for me... but for someone else.
They say they've an ASUS mother board, and I read here it's pretty hard to get linux working on ASUS... is this true? False? what what?

The person has an AMD 2700+, ASUS A7V8X, 512Mb DDR333, 40Gb HDD, GeForce 4 4200 64MbVRAM, Liteon CD-R/RW

Any help is much appreciated. The person keeps trying to install and it does. It flies through the packages... but then comes up with an error. This is on basic install and extra packages added.

Thanks folks

I have an Asus P4P800-SE (i865) and everything worked out of the box. I have tried with both Suse 9.1 and Mandrake 10.0 CE, and both perfectly. The only problem was that when I first installed the NVIDIA drivers for my video card did not work properly (very slow X11) but after the new drivers came out everything worked perfectly

I have an ASUS P4C800-E and it works just fine in slackware and debian... Itīs not really ASUS that might be making some problems, itīs the chipset the board uses (asus makes motherboards with many different chipsets)
