I did get my system mostly running. I have a core 2 duo with
a new intel
DP965LT motherboard. Everything is now running except access
to the cdrom drive. Sound works. I did disable the onboard
ethernet controller and just
used a pci one that I had because I wasn't sure the internal
one would yet work.
I used the mini.iso from here:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...mages/netboot/
This then installed edgy from the internet and it's been
working fine for a few days. After edgy is released I'll
enable the internal ethernet controller and try that. The
updates have worked fine so I'm hoping that there will be a
new kernel update in the next few days that will get the
cdrom/dvdrom drive running.
Oh yes, I had to change the bios setting for the sata drive
to ahci. It was set to IDE.
