Re: Best supported motherboard

Hi Basil,

I remember how difficult it was to get some information about the
motherboard before purchase, so I did some further testing for you on my
ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 motherboard.

Hi Franz

Please see below comment in this page http://www.anandtech.com/show/2959

Also a sleep issue is mentioned . what about it ?
I installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit and tested the sleep modes.
USB3 still disabled in the bios.
Suspend to RAM and Suspend to DISK both work.
With the open source radeon drivers. I didn't test the proprietary flgrx
drivers.
I am not sure if the suspend modes will still work when usb3 is enabled
in the bios.

I just did some testing for you:
(I never used the sleep modes)


Suspend to RAM and Suspend to Disk don't work with ubuntu 10.04 when usb
3.0 is enabled in the Bios (I am using the 64bit version of ubuntu-10.04.1)
I had to disable the usb 3.0 controller then suspend to disk worked
(with the open source radeon driver)
check out this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10092819

installed the proprietary flgrx-driver (from the ubuntu repositories).
suspend to RAM does *not work*
suspend to DISK *does work*

according to this german hardware compatibility list this asus board is
supported out of the box in ubuntu 10.10.
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hardwaredatenbank/Mainboards#Asus

This board might be a little bit to new for my 10.04 installation - but
I don't mind.

Actually I didn't have that many motherboard to choose from:
I wanted to use ECC-RAM: unless I wanted to by an expensive high end
Intel-CPU I had to choose from AMD.

And ASUS is the only manufacuter who offers consumer mainboard
supporting ECC-memory. I chose the M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 because of the
integrated graphics and the SATA II and USB 3.0 support.

If you want to know which memory modules I used I can check it for you
(I found some modules from Kingston which were just a little bit more
expensive than non-ECC modules).

My suspend issues could be related to my software-RAID as well. I don't
know if mdadm can handle suspend to RAM.
