A report on a New install on a new to me machine plus a new video card. I was given this older box it has a AMD 939 CPU slot. I had a dual core AMD 64 X2 that I was able to slip in. And I added an Asus Nvidia GT430 card to the PCI-E slot. I had issues from the start with this install I had to run the CD in debug mode to get the live cd to boot at all. I had issues with the NIC (not sure if they are Linux or board issues yet) I had to install a pci 10/100 card that I had around. Finally got it to install and then the X would hang because the new Card didn't like the old drivers. Once I figured out that the Nvidia drivers were to blame I hit ALT F2 and did a Code: sudo pacman -Sy nvidia and got the new Nvidia drivers loaded. So far so good everything seems to be working.

I just put a GT430 in my R6.02 box, and I was running into the same problem with X not starting until I ran across your post and updated the nvidia driver as you suggested. So thank you! But I still can't get the HDMI audio to work. Have you? When I use aplay, I see only the on-board audio. |

You probably need to update your ALSA driver. I've posted instructions on how to do it around here somewhere with PKGBUILD files and the rest. Try these two threads... http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=21966 http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22178 |

Yes I use the onboard optical port and I use a DVI to HDMI adapter cable B/C I wanted the audio to go to my Amp which does not have HDMI ports. Now that I'm typing this out I don't remember why I didn't just get an HDMI cable. ;D |
