Kaivoin hiukan tätä interwebbiä ja löysin seuraavan artikkelin mandrivawikistä:
"Marvell 88SE61 series drive controllers do not workSee also Image:bug_small.png Bug #43975. Some users have reported that Mandriva Linux 2009 does not work with the Marvell 88SE61 series of drive controllers present on several motherboards, including the Asus P5E3 and the MSI P965Neo-F V2. If your optical drive, or the hard disk to which you wish to install Mandriva Linux 2009, is attached to this controller, this will prevent you from installing Mandriva.
We are currently working to identify the cause of this issue and see if fixes and / or workarounds can be provided."
Mullahan on tietty toi Marvellin piiri emolla. En nyt just muista onko ihan sama versio, mutta kuitenkin...
Toivottavasti poijjaat Mandrivalla saavat jotain aikaiseksi...
Toinen mielenkiintoinen asia oli, vaikka se ei ihan tähän liitykkään, seuraava juttu GUIsta. Tähänkin ehtisin jo kahden tunnin aikana törmätä kahdesti.
"Periodic freeze of the graphical systemSee also Image:bug_small.png Bug #42833. Some users of Mandriva Linux 2009 have experienced a bug where the system freezes periodically when running in graphical mode. When this occurs, it is still possible to use the ctrl-alt-F1 key sequence to access a text console. This issue is caused by a bug in the kernel DRM modules causing the X.org graphical server to enter an infinite loop. To diagnose this issue, examine the X.org log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, from the text console after the graphical desktop freezes. The presence of the following recurring lines is the indication of this bug:
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
To work around this issue, at the Mandriva Linux 2009 boot menu, select the option labeled linux-nonfb, rather than the default option. You can set this as the permanent default in the Mandriva boot configuration tool, accessible from the Mandriva Control Center, in the Boot tab, labeled Set up boot system. Doing this will disable the video framebuffer, which means you will not see the graphical boot and shut down screens."
