If others have gotten it to work there is something different in your setup or you are doing something wrong.

Not trying to be hard on ya but Linux can be a real b1tch trying to get somethings to work. But USUALLY it all boils down to someone somewhere made a mistake. Make sure you have all dependencies. Triple check everything you do, use copy and paste for the instructions on the web site. Watch the text scrolling by with you hand set to hit CONTROL C to stop it if you see an error. If a build fails do a make clean and start again.

Once I needed to setup a terminal server for a bank of modems. Choices were Linux, FreeBSD and Windows NT. Spent 2 weeks compiling kernels and reading and searching the web trying to figure out why I could not get either Linux or FreeBSD to see the modems. Company had drivers for both. Windows NT worked fine except we had to reboot every 3 days because of NTs memory leaks. I never did get it to work never figured out why. It was all I did for 2 weeks. Even tried different distros, reinstalled and started from scratch. Even tried ancient mystic chants and curses.


Good luck

EDIT:
I cannot read the HardOCP had to stop years ago, white text on black background kills my eyes.

On the first link I posted notice they had directions for specific versions of Ubuntu. What distro did you try before and which one are you going to try this time?
always ubuntu for some reason.

and there is a step by step on there that anubis used and it worked for the same hardware, i copy paste the same stuff no work..

silly linux always making the mundane easy stuff the hardest part.. to undervolt in

windows
install program
open
click button
DONE

linux
type this command
type this command
type this command
type this command
type this command
look around for a while
type this command
you might have to type this command
type this command
type this command
