Mandriva 2010 RC2 supports Poulsbo - Fit-PC2

[pto]

Hi all
Read http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS5930102209.html
It seems that we should spend some time with Mandriva 2010,

I just installed the RC2 version of Mandriva 2010. It detects the Poulsbo chipset fine, and everything goes well until I want to start the X server. Here I don't have the psb module - which is not located in the i586 DVD I installed from.
I did try "uprmi -a psb", but that went too far off....

I will now try with the ONE version of the 2010 RC2 - there the needed driver should be there.

If you get more success mail me

This is a post from Mandriva 2010 RC2 ONE after installation - woks right out of the box )))))

Super!!!

does it support the graph driver and hyperthreading same time?

[pto]

how should I test this?

[Denis]

Check if enabled CONFIG_SMP ( Symmetric multi-processing support) in kernel configuration, and test driver performance on high display resolution. Compare with performance of default Ubuntu installation on same resolution.

[pto]

i.e. recompile the kernel?

[Denis]

No, on Mandriva installation should be some kernel config file in /boot folder, like config-2.6.28-34-fitpc2 for customized fit-PC2 kernel or config-2.6.28-16-generic for generic kernel.

$ grep CONFIG_SMP /boot/config*
/boot/config:CONFIG_SMP=y
/boot/config-2.6.31.2-desktop586-0.rc1.1mnb:CONFIG_SMP=y
/boot/config-2.6.31.5-desktop586-0.rc1.1mnb:CONFIG_SMP=y

that looks nice

how to get the iso file on a bootable usb stick ??? could find only for mandriva 2009 and quite complicate....

[pto]

I also have problems to find a way to transfer Mandriva to a USB stick. Most like this is somehow coupled to the fact that there is a Mandriva on USB stick product out there.

BTW; Compiz works very well on the Fit-PC2 with Mandriva
