= Debian on a Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi = In fall 2006 Asus started selling this motherboard. == Chipset and additional hardware == The motherboard is equipped with the Intel ICH8 chipset. Additionally (because the ICH8 does not support PATA) a JMicron controller is used. The board comes with quite a lot additional things, * ICH8R RAID Controller * JMicron RAID Controller * Two gigabit ethernet NICs * Onboard HD audio (with 7.1 and digital output) * 8 USB 2.0 interfaces * Firewire 400 (IEEE1394) (Note: this is no typo: there are really two RAID controllers) == Hardware == A {{{lspci}}} gives the following output: {{{ 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation P965/G965 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation P965/G965 PCI Express Root Port (rev 02) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 02) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #5 (rev 02) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI #2 (rev 02) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 02) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 6 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI #1 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev f2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801HB/HR (ICH8/R) LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801HR/HO/HH (ICH8R/DO/DH) SATA RAID Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a1) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.

The problems are that the kernels until 2.6.19 do not support the JMicron controller, i. e. no way to use a PATA CD-/DVD-ROM drive during the installation. == Kernel == Here are some hints to configure a kernel for this motherboard (kernel version 2.6.19 is used): === ICH8 HD Audio === {{{ Device Drivers ---> Sound ---> <*> Sound card support Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ---> <M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture PCI devices ---> <M> Intel HD Audio }}} === Firewire === {{{ Device Drivers ---> IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support ---> <M> IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support <M> OHCI-1394 support }}} You may also chose some / all of the protocoll drivers. === JMicron === This PATA can be found under the SATA section (that also includes some experimental PATA) drivers. {{{ Device Drivers ---> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers ---> <*> ATA device support <*> AHCI SATA support <M> JMicron PATA support }}} === SATA ICH8 === {{{ Device Drivers ---> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers ---> <*> ATA device support <*> AHCI SATA support <*> Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support }}} === Ethernet 1 === {{{ Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> [*] Network device support Ethernet (1000 Mbit) ---> <M> SysKonnect Yukon2 support (EXPERIMENTAL) }}} == Raid == To get the raid (Intel ICH8R) working, {{{dmraid}}} can be used: {{{apt-get install dmraid}}} == Not documented == The following components are not working yet or were not tested: * WiFi Solo AP * CD-/DVD- buring with JMicron controller * Second Ethernet interface == nVidia Graphics == Because of the new kernel, the Debian nvidia packages do not work. Grab the driver directly from nVidia and install them. = Conclusion = After geting around the first boot / installation problems, this is a fine board and all the interfaces and hardware seems to work without any problems under Debian. |
