Intel_DP45SG
I have successfully installed Ubuntu 8.04.4 (via SATA CDROM drive) on a system built around this motherboard.
Intel Product Link: http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/DP45SG/DP45SG-overview.htm
Bios version 0125 (Date 2010-Jan-21)
Worked out of the box
- Audio (Back output)
- SATA CD/DVD reader
- SATA HD
- USB (both front and back)
Updating BIOS using the ISO CD from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+4+Series+Chipset+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+DP45SG&OSVersion=OS+Independent
Did not worked out of the box
- Ethernet (NIC, LAN). Find below note for a workaround that worked for me.
Not tested
- Firewire
- Serial port
- Other audio outputs than back output on motherboard.
Important note about Ubuntu installation. When I try to install Ubuntu from the CD the installer returns the following error message: 'BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) ...' Here are the steps to fix this
- Go into your BIOS. Find the setting for the SATA controller. Change it from IDE to AHCI.
- Boot with Ubuntu intallation CD.
- Don't change anything into the Ubuntu install screen. Leave it to default normal.
