Hi there, I'm trying to solve a long-standing problem with installation of CentOS & Fedora on our nForce-430-based motherboards. The forcedeth kernel module has been pretty fast-moving over the last few kernels and to support our current boards, we need a really fresh version which is generally only found in 2.6.19 or 2.6.20. nVidia backport these drivers to earlier kernels here:
Matthew, Although you said you cannot consider newer distros, what about different or older hardware? If someone insists on running a distro that doesn't have the drivers you need, I would consider them "unsupported" and they can deal with older hardware or a newer release. :) If you try to support each nuance requested by end users, you'll run out of time. /Brian/
