true image server 8 boot cd

howdy im having a problem with a new motherboard (gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9) that we are using there appear to be no compatible network drivers.

i remade the disk using that machine thinking it would get the appropriate drivers but still no success, is it possible that i can add the drivers if not are there any other suggestions as to how i can get the network drivers working?

Hello appollo,

Thank you for providing the additional information on the problem.

Yes, this problem might be caused by the lack of the appropriate drivers for your particular network card. However, this kind of problems is usually easy to solve.

Could you please create Linux system information (sysinfo.txt file) as it is described in Acronis Help Post?

Please also do the following:

- Boot from the Acronis True Image 8.0 rescue disc (build 937) once more and press F11 key when the "Starting Acronis Loader..." message appears;

- After you get the "Linux Kernel Settings" prompt, please remove the "quiet" word, click on the OK button and wait for # prompt to appear.

- Issue the following commands:

asamba dhcp -n
asamba masters

- Write down the output after each of the commands or use a digital camera to make a shots of the output screens;

cd tmp
mkdir mntdir
mount /devfs/floppy/0 mntdir
cat /proc/net/dev > mntdir/net.txt
umount mntdir

- Collect the net.txt file from the diskette.

Please also download and install the free trial version of Acronis True Image 9.0, create new Bootable Rescue CD, boot your PC from this CD and see if the problem still persists.

Create an account, then log in and submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with the exact model of your network adapter and the link to this thread. We will investigate the problem and try to provide you with the solution.
