Hello!
As i know the PCI-Express port on that board should work with lb but i've troubles on using an nvidia-grapic card with the propritary nvidia driver and lb. i used the revison 2994 for this test with lb-v2. Or is it nessacary to use a patch to get the PCI-Express working with lb?
here are some informations on my system:
dmesg shows the following output according to the nvidia module: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 100.14.19 Wed Sep 12 14:08:38 PDT 2007 NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x2b:1557) NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed
the xorg logfile contains the following error: (EE) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA kernel module does not appear to be receiving (EE) NVIDIA(0): interrupts generated by the NVIDIA graphics device (EE) NVIDIA(0): PCI:7:0:0. Please see Chapter 8: Common Problems in the (EE) NVIDIA(0): README for additional information. (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
where the last two lines (beginning with NVRM) in the dmesg appear when i try to start the xserver with the nvidia grapics driver.
attached is the superio output from lb, and from the propritary bios.
Please attach lspci -vvvxxx under lb and prop as well. I suspect some age-old PCI setup difference may be causing problems here.
And I have no idea whether we boot the Nvidia graphics BIOS or not. A LinuxBIOS serial capture should help to clear that up.
