I have an ASRock z87 motherboard, with x5 XFX 7950 cards on 1x 16x powered risers.

On BAMT boot I get the following errors:

Quote
(process:308): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
startpar: service(s) returned failure: gdm ... failed!

Takes me to command line. I can run startx fine and get to GUI interface. 0 graphics cards are listed.

I have tried multiple different USB sticks.

If I find an answer before anyone responds, I'll be sure to post it. I'm having a hell of a time finding anyone with a similar problem that actually posted the solution!

I found this nice post, just look for the correct driver and install it.

That's a very new Intel NIC - linux drivers don't really exist for it yet.  Try a USB NIC or wifo dongle.

Damn. Just bought this mobo too.

I´m going to test it soon. Will post any news.

Same thing here. Even with the new version 1.2 of BAMT, it doesn't see the NIC.

Anyone using this board and come up with a way to make the network card work with BAMT?  It was on sale at newegg, and with 4 PCI-E slots, figured it would be a good choice for risers... so far, not so much.

Looking for drivers lead me here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=15817&lang=eng&wapkw=i217-v
But the installation instructions reference creating an RPM, which is not too useful on the debian-based BAMT.

Any suggestions?  Anyone know how to build that driver under a debian system?

Thanks!
