Hi !
I'm a new owner of an VIA EPIA-ML6000EAG motherboard.
Have anyone been able to install Linux ( or Windows 2000 Pro) on a motherboard like this on a IDE disc ?
spec according to manual:
Chipset
- VIA CLE266 North Bridge
- VT8235 South Bridge
2 X UltraDMA 66 / 100 / 133 Connector
Repeatedy errors like below is displayed when trying different distros ( Ubuntu, Fedora, DSL, Debian)
<4>hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
<4>hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=127, high=0, low=127, sector=64
<4>end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 64
And a blue screen of death trying to install Windows 2000 Pro on it. The message says
unable to access disc.
The disc is a modern Seagate and works fine on other machines.
Don't know if I'm missing something or if the motherboard is broken
