DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware. The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware. If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware. |

Important Note
This article is about the Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Desktop Motherboard and Debian Wheezy running on it, GRUB with MBR booting. Did a targeted install.
Configuration
Display
The IntelĀ® HD Graphics 2500 from an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz worked out of the box.
Audio
Audio didn't work initially and I was encountering errors while booting. No sound output was available and just the standard devices were visible. Bootlogd helped a lot! You need to install it as it has been moved out of the sysvinit-utils package and now has a separate package called bootlogd. Installed ALSA's upstream version from ALSA's homepage and used the alsa-compile script.
Ethernet
The board has a built in Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet controller. For the Debian 7 "Wheezy" release, the Debian Linux kernel is patched to include the alx driver, which provides device support (699129).
Mouse
Generic USB / PS2
Power Management
- I am running this machine flat-out with an average uptime of 30-40 days (kernel updates) and everything runs flawlessly.
This is why I did not test Hibernation and Sleep/Suspend .
