Hi guys, I have been dipping my toes in the Linux ocean for a while now, and even though its cold I'm ready to fully dive in.
I was working on installing OpenSuse 13.2 on my main Workstation Rig.
Specs
Mobo: GA-970A-DS3P
CPU: FX8320
GPU: Radeon 7790HD
I am Having strange issues with my on-board Ethernet not being able to connect.
After doing some research I found that you want to Enable IOMMU
The Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P is a ATX mainboard with AM3+ socket. The board is supported under Linux, but some additional settings are necessary to use it:
By default, the board is shipped with IOMMU deactivated in the BIOS. With such settings the USB 3.0 ports work under Linux, but the USB 2.0 and Ethernet are deactivated. If IOMMU is activated, USB 2.0 and Ethernet work under Linux, but the USB 3.0 ports are deactivated.
To use all three components in parallel under Linux, the IOMMU needs to be deactivated in the BIOS and the following “grub” configuration has to be added to the file /etc/default/grub:
File /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=soft"
The new configuration is activated by the command
sudo update-grub
When I ran the sudo update-grub command and I would give me a unrecognized command.
I am a windows power user and ran Ubuntu on a laptop for 6 months so I know basic stuff about linux but please be gentle X D.
Any Ideas would be great as I am hitting a wall.
I think I may try this BIOS setting called 60/64 Port Emulation, and may mess with the Legacy Setting.
