I have started to really configure my kernel, and it would be easier if someone with the same system like med could paste their .config here.

I have the Abit AN8-Ultra, I am running into some display issues at the moment, but I can post my config when I get home from work if you want it. Just let me know.

http://home.earthlink.net/~paulsdead/config-vanilla
Here's the config I'm using on 2.6.14-rc2 vanilla. I'm using an SB Live Audigy for sound, so unless you have an emu10k1 based soundcard, you'll probably want to change it to the i8x0 sound driver. I also have a dual core chip, so if you don't have one of those, you can get rid of the smp stuff.

I have the exact same motherboard as you with a dual core chip. Using IDE drives. Everything runs great, except the occasional 'lost ticks' in my log messages, even with the 'notsc' boot parameter, which I'm not aware of being a kernel config issue. And I don't think this will affect you with a single core anyway.

I can't vouch for the elegance of my kernel config but I did my best to go thru and judge what needed to be enabled and what didn't. lm_sensors is working, my nvidia graphics card works, the onboard ethernet works, my PCI sound card works, all my drives work. In short it works very well, but I cann't comment on SATA since I don't have that. I also have not tried the onboard sound, RAID, or powernow stuff.

I have no webspace but if you would like me to post my config file in this post (and take up 6 million lines) I'd be happy to, just let me know.

As paulisdead said, you don't need the SMP stuff.

You'd see the lost ticks error in dmesg.

this is the kernel line from my grub.conf that got rid of the lost ticks for me
Code:
kernel /2.6.14-rc2 root=/dev/sda3 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x31A pci=biosirq pci=irqroute clock=pmtmr notsc

results may vary :wink:

Yeah sorry I'm pretty sure that's just a dual core thing, so don't worry about it.
